Welcome to the third International Conference on Management of
Multimedia Networks and Services (MMNS'2000) in Fortaleza (Brazil)
The first MMNS was held in Montreal ( Canada) in july 1997 and the
second MMNS was held in Versailles (France) in November 1998. The
MMNS conference takes place every year and a half and is aimed to
be a truly international event by bringing together researchers and
practitioners from all around the world and by organising the
conference each time in a different continent/country. Over the
past several years, there has been a considerable amount of
research within the fields of multimedia networking and network
management. Much of that work has taken place within the context of
managing Quality-of Service in broadband integrated services
digital networks such as the A TM, and more recently in IP-based
networks, to respond to the requirements of emerging multimedia
applications. A TM networks were designed to support multimedia
traffic with diverse characteristics and can be used as the
transfer mode for both wired and wireless networks. A new set of
Internet protocols is being developed to provide better quality of
service, which is a prerequisite for supporting multimedia
applications. Multimedia applications have a different set of
requirements, which impacts the design of the underlying
communication network as well as its management. Several QoS
management mechanisms intervening at different layers of the
communication network are required including QoS-routing, QoS-based
transport, QoS negotiation, QoS adaptation, FCAPS management, and
mobility management."

The 1st Workshop on Service Assurance with Partial and Intermittent
Resources (SAPIR 2004) was the first event in a series introducing
the concept of pi-resources and bridging it with the emerging and
important field of distributed and heavily shared resources. The
topics concerning this event are driven by a paradigm shift
occurring in the last decade in telecommunications and networking
considering partial and intermittent resources (pi-resources). The
Internet, converged networks, delay-tolerant networks, ad hoc
networking, GRID-supporting networks, and satellite communications
require a management paradigm shift that takes into account the
partial and intermittent availability of resources, including
infrastructure (networks, computing, and storage) and service
components, in distributed and shared environments. A resource is
called partial (p-resource) when only a subset of conditions for it
to function to complete specification is met, yet it is still able
to provide a (potentially degraded) service, while an intermittent
or sporadic resource (i-resource) will be able to provide a service
for limited and potentially unpredictable time intervals only.
Partial and intermittent services are relevant in environments
characterized by high volatility and fluctuation of available
resources, such as those experienced in conjunction with component
mobility or ad hoc networking, where the notion of traditional
service guarantees is no longer applicable. Other characteristics,
such as large transmission delays and storage mechanisms during the
routing, require a rethinking of today's paradigms with regards to
service assurance and how service guarantees are defined.
