International Workshop on
                Advanced Architectures and Algorithms
               for Internet Delivery and Applications
                    Orlando, FL -  June 16, 2005
                (AAA-IDEA '05:  http://aaa-idea.org/ )

                     in conjunction with
  International Conference on Multimedia Services Access Networks
                (MSAN '05: http://www.msan.org/ )

Innovations in content delivery systems continue to have strong
impact on our world, resulting in a surge of research interest in
both content delivery applications and the web/network
infrastructure that supports novel applications based on Internet.
Scalability issues pose a number of challenging problems to solve
for both applications and the underlying infrastructure.
Accesses to multimedia and QoS sensitive services through a large
variety of Internet devices require guaranteed performance, resource
  availability and proximity of content to the network access points.
While exact load and resource characterization in the open Internet
environment is difficult to attain, some forms of performance
assurance are highly desirable, especially in the face of large
uncertainty. There is a number of open research challenges in
optimizing and improving content delivery mechanisms and support
for delivered content.

The goal of this one-day workshop is to bring together researchers,
developers, web service providers, application and network designers
from academia and industry to exchange ideas about the problems they
are facing and to discuss recent and innovative solutions.
Topics of interest to this workshop include (but are not limited to)
performance studies and solutions (algorithms, protocols,
architectures) that tend to improve experience of users of services
and applications based on Internet, and in particular:

* Content delivery systems
* P2P architectures
* Scalable and adaptive web-based system
* Caching and replication
* Content adaptation and transcoding
* Quality of service
* SLA-based services
* Protocols for Web-based systems
* Reliability and high availability
* Security
* Performance measurement and monitoring tools
* Workload analysis and characterization
* Traffic monitoring and billing strategies
* Streaming media
* Mobility management
* IPv6 impact

------------------------- PUBLICATION ------------------------------
The submissions to be presented at the workshop will be selected,
based on their originality, technical merit and topical relevance of
their contents. All accepted papers will be published in the
proceedings that will be available at the workshop.

----------------------- PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------------------
We encourage full papers that present well developed research
results (up to 8 pages double column, including figures and
references), but also short papers that are more speculative in
nature, works in progress and position papers are solicited (up to
5 pages double column, including figures and references).
All submissions should be sent electronically in Postscript or
Adobe PDF format. Electronic submission instructions are available
at the workshop site (http://aaa-idea.org/). The electronic
submission is available at EDAS (http://www.edas.info/).
