IEEE International Conference on Wireless LANs and Home Networks
by Radford, Peter 26 Nov '01

26 Nov '01

I notice the program for the IEEE International Conference on Wireless LANs and Home Networks includes a Keynote speech from Dr. Leonard Kleinrock, who is described as an "Inventor of Internet Technology". If you're interested in the history of packet-switching, the (D)ARPAnet and the internet, earlier this year the Computer Journal (Volume 44 number 3, issued) published posthumously a paper by my illustrious predecessor Donald Davies entitled "The Beginnings of Packet Switching".

This message is cross-posted to several lists - We apologize for possible duplicate postings! CALL FOR PAPERS ICCC / IFIP 6th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING at Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic ELPUB2002 - "Technology Interactions" http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/elpub02/ Hosted by the Institute for Print and Media Technology of Chemnitz Technical University, Germany and by the Department for Computer Science and Engineering, University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, Czech Republic November 06 -09th, 2002 Electronic Publishing is an area that is crossed over other areas such as E-commerce, Digital Libraries, Distance Learning, etc. New technologies keep appearing everyday in the Electronic Publishing arena. These interact not only among them, but also with all these areas, and not always in the same way. The "What, Where, How, and Why" questions about these technologies interactions is the main theme of the 2002 ElPub conference. ELPUB2002 is the 6th in a series of annual international conferences on Electronic Publishing. The objective of ELPUB2002 is to bring together researchers, managers, developers, and users working on the issues related to electronic publishing for public, scientific and commercial applications. The conference will continue the tradition of the previous conferences which took place in Great Britain in 1997, Hungary in 1998, Sweden in 1999, Russia in 2000 and England in 2001. PROGRAMME The focus is on electronic publishing for academic and industrial purposes and for the general public. There will be two tracks: a general track and a technical track. The General track aims to provide an overview of the main issues of the area, such as Human, Cultural, Social, Economic and Legal issues. The Technical Track, on the other hand, aims to provide a more in depth view over the state of the art technologies, applications and tools worldwide. We welcome speakers on the following topics: GENERAL TRACK - New Publishing Models; - New services for the Web; - Old Actors - New Roles: Scholars, Publishers, Librarians, Journalists, Teachers, etc. and Electronic Publishing in E-Commerce, Digital Libraries, Distance Learning, advertisement, etc.; - The Semantic Web; - Multimedia and Multimodal Web; - Web for the TV / TV for the Web; - Multilingual Systems and translators; - Systems for disabled persons; - Metadata - its usage and interoperability; - Accessibility; - Infocracy / Infoexclusion; - Copyright and other rights issues; - Security, and reliability/quality assurance on the information sources; - Standards and recommendations from well-established bodies and their comparison. TECHNICAL TRACK - Using XML and its related technologies(XSL, XSLT, DOM, XLink, XPath, ...); comparing its use with older technologies (like DBMS, for instance); - Development and use of XML applications (XHTML, MathML, NewsML, RDF...) and tools; - Development and use of Metadata vocabularies, application profiles and metadata registries; - Development and use of codification mechanisms and technologies for metadata encoding (RDF, Topic Maps,...); - Knowledge discovery on the Web; Content Search and Retrieval on the Web; - Profiling and personalization; - Interoperability and scalability of Web publishing applications; - Electronic Publishing for mobile devices; - Technologies for the selection of content; their use and/or comparison; - Technologies for security, and reliability/quality assurance on the information sources; - Technologies for copyright assurance; - Mechanisms for the integration of recommendations, standards and standards proposals.

PfHSN calls for full and for short papers, and also for panel proposals. For complete information about the workshop, please visit: http://www.fokus.gmd.de/glone/pfhsn2002/ A printer friendly version of the call for papers is available at: http://www.fokus.gmd.de/glone/pfhsn2002/pfhsn2002.pdf (PDF) http://www.fokus.gmd.de/glone/pfhsn2002/pfhsn2002.ps (PS) Best regards, Georg Carle and Martina Zitterbart --------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS IFIP TC6 WG6.2 / IEEE Comsoc TC on Gigabit Networking Seventh International Workshop on Protocols for High-Speed Networks (PfHSN'2002) Monday April 22 - Wednesday April 24, 2002 Berlin, Germany Sponsored by IFIP WG6.2 Working Group on Network and Internetwork Architecture Technical co-sponsorship by the IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Gigabit Networking In cooperation with COST263 Quality of Future Internet Services SCOPE PfHSN is a successful series of workshops providing an international forum for the presentation and discussion of new research and ideas on protocols for high speed networks. The PfHSN'2002 workshop in Berlin follows the PfHSN'99 event held in Salem, Massachusetts. (Information on the history of PfHSN is provided under http://uluru.poly.edu/~tmoors/test/confs.html#pfhsn .) In addition to protocols and implementation techniques for high speed networks, the workshop will focus this year on high-speed and high performance optical, active, and wireless networks. Original research contributions are solicited. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the high-performance (high-bandwidth/low-latency) aspects of: o Protocol development o Protocol analysis o High-performance architectures o Implementation of high-speed protocols o Maintaining QoS at high speeds o Experimental studies o Application-oriented issues o Application controlled communication systems o Protocols for distributed multimedia and peer-to-peer applications o Protocol implementation tools o Fast lookup and classification o Programmable hardware in support of high speed protocols o High speed active network architecture o Network processors o High performance middlebox communication (firewalling etc.) o High speed measurements o Optical network protocols In the past, the workshop has been small (50 to 80 researchers). As a result, a considerable about of time is devoted to informal discussion. This year workshop will be limited to 120 participants. INFORMATION TO CONTRIBUTORS Prospective authors are invited to submit for review, unpublished original contributions (not exceeding 12 pages single spaced) which describe recent and innovative research results or developments within the scope of the workshop.
