Call For Participation: IWQoS'03
by Ion Stoica 14 May '03

14 May '03

Please accept my apology if you receive multiple copies of this message. Ion ---- The 11th International Workshop on Quality of Service (IWQoS'03) 2-4 June, 2003 Dubletree Hotel, Monterey, California, June 2-4, 2003 http://iwqos03.cs.berkeley.edu/ Highlights: Invited talks: - "Micro-Buffered Networks", Rene Cruz (UCSD) - "Breaking the Great Internet Deadlock OR Why there isn't any Network QoS and what to do about it", Abhay Parekh (ICSI Berkeley) - "Go After Challenges", Lixia Zhang (UCLA) Panel: "QoS in Demand: Who Needs it Anyway?" - Chair: Klara Nahrstedt (UIUC) Panelists: Andrew Campbell (Columbia U.), Dave Hartzell (NASA Ames), Srinivasan Keshav (Ensim), Jerry Rolia (HP Labs), Harick Vin (UT Austin) The full program consisting of 27 regular papers is available at http://iwqos03.cs.berkeley.edu/program.html Quality of Service continues to be an active research field, especially in the networking community. IWQoS is a successful series of workshops that aims to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of new research and ideas on QoS. Traditionally, IWQoS workshops are cross-disciplinary and well focused, with the emphasis on innovation. As a result, a considerable amount of time is devoted to informal discussion. In addition to the traditional QoS topics such as service guarantees and admission control, this year we aimed to expand the scope of the workshop by encouraging submissions offering research contributions related to robustness, resilience, security, and predictability in networking and distributed systems. As a result, the program included two sessions on availability, fault tolerance, and dependability. The other sessions covered routing, resource allocation, storage, Web services, incentives, and rate based QoS.

TC6 meeting documents (1)
by Augusto Casaca 14 May '03

14 May '03

Dear TC6 members, I feel that we need to progress on the way that we produce the documents for our meetings. I will proceed in the usual way of preparing and carrying the meeting documents for the two meetings of 2003, but probably we could take the opportunity of having a new chair in 2004 and start producing and distributing documents in a fully electronic way. May be we can think about dealing only with electronic documents and the chair would put them in the TC6 server one week before the meeting. Then all delegates can upload them and bring them to the meeting in their PCs. On this way we would have a full electronic process. In the meantime, I send you by e-mail some documents that will be part of the meeting documents. You do not need to carry them but you might be interested in reading them before the meeting. Let me tell you that there are many more, and interesting, documents in the meeting minutes. I still have a lot of documents in paper form. I will split the documents in different mails. In this mail you will get the WG reports (may I ask Ioannis to distribute the WG 6.3 report to the list, because, by some reason, I have only got the paper version. My fault!) Enjoy the reading Best regards Augusto

NOMS (Network Operations and Management Symposium) was originally created 13 years ago, and nowadays constitutes a worldwide event for the researches in the area of network management. The Asia/Pacific community promoted the APNOMS (Asia-Pacific Network Operations and Management Symposium), which is an event more oriented to the research and development community in that region. Continuing the success of the second LANOMS, we will promote the third edition of LANOMS (http://www.inf.ufpr.br/lanoms) on September 4-6 2003, in Iguassu Falls, Paraná, Brazil. The symposium is a promotion of the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR), Brazil, technically co-sponsored by IEEE Communications Society, and supported by IEEE Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). The main goal of the LANOMS is to create a forum more specific to the necessities of Latin America in the area of network management involving networking and telecommunication companies, academic institutions and equipment vendors. LANOMS is an event open to participants from all over the world who are interest in having, or already have, research or commercial liaisons in Latin America - one of the fastest growing regions in the world in networking. This year, we intend to increase the submissions from North America, Europe, Africa and Asia.

The conference series started in 1981 under the name PSTV. In 1988 a second series under the name FORTE was set up. Both series were united to FORTE/PSTV in 1996. Two years ago the conference changed the name to its current form. FORTE provides a forum for researchers and users to review, discuss, and learn about new approaches, concepts,and experiences in the field of formal description techniques and their application. The 23rd FORTE conference will be held in Berlin. It is organized by the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus (BTU Cottbus) and the Berlin University of Technology (TU Berlin). FORTE 2003 is especially dedicated to the application of formal description techniques to practice, especially in the Internet domain. The conference will consist of tutorial sessions on the first day, followed by presentations of reviewed and invited papers, tool demonstrations, and panel and working sessions. Topics of interest FORTE'03 will provide a forum for researchers and users to review, discuss, and learn about new approaches, concepts and experiences in the application of formal methods such as finite state machines, process algebras, Petri nets and logics and formal description techniques including SDL, UML, LOTOS, MSC, ASN.1, and others. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to - Use of formal methods: FDT based design of communication protocols and distributed systems especially for Internet applications, Formal verification, Performance modeling and analysis, Automatically derived implementations, Test of distributed systems and communication protocols including interoperability tests, performance tests, robustness tests, and test generation procedures, Tool support - Theoretical aspects of formal methods: New approaches and theories, Extensions of FDTs, Semantic foundations, Real-time and probability aspects - Practical experience with formal methods: Reports and case studies of the deployment of formal methods and FDTs to the development and validation of distributed systems and communication protocols, in particular in Internet and communication domains. We strongly encourage the submission of papers with practical applications especially in the areas of multimedia applications, wireless and mobile communication protocols, client/server applications, secure systems/environments, e-business and mobile commerce, and other Internet applications. Submission policy Several types of contributions are solicited: - Full papers - research or practice results (not more than 16 pages) - Tutorial proposals - Work in progress papers (not more than 5 pages) - Tool demonstration proposals Only original papers, i.e. not submitted nor published elsewhere, should be submitted.
