We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. 10th IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS 2006) http://www.noms2006.org Call for Papers ?Management of Integrated End-to-end Communications and Services" The 10th IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS 2006) will be held 3-7 April 2006 in the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Center, Vancouver, Canada. Held in even-numbered years since 1988, NOMS 2006 will follow the 18 year tradition of NOMS and IM as the primary forum for technical exchange of the research, standards, development, systems integration, service provider, and user communities. NOMS 2006 will present up-to-date approaches and technical solutions for integrated systems and services including communication networks, host systems, enterprise applications, service oriented architectures, and delivery of management services. The conference provides a peer-reviewed program of technical sessions, application sessions, tutorials, posters, and panels as well as vendor exhibits. Integrated systems and services require considerations for today?s multi-service and multi-domain environment of heterogeneous technologies, service offerings, management strategies, and business models. NOMS 2006 focuses on integrated management that encompasses provisioning, operation, and maintenance. This broad scope also calls for an integrated approach to dependability, resilience, quality-of-service, mobility management, and services billing. In particular, these considerations include the combination of wireless and wired networks and the integration of all-IP communication systems. NOMS 2006 will offer five types of sessions: technical, application, poster, panel, and BoF. Technical sessions present high-quality papers on the latest research results in the network operations and management area. Application sessions present papers focusing on the experience of IT and telecommunications industries, such as service providers, OSS vendors, and equipment manufacturers. The scope here includes customer requirements, management system implementations, and business practices. Poster sessions provide an insight into work-in-progress. Panel sessions focus on business implications, market trends, and emerging applications with panelists who are technology and business leaders.

Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of sensor networks are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of sensor networks and systems are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Sensor-based systems and applications - Operating systems - Middleware and software tools - Networking architectures and protocols - Location and mobility management - Topology control and time synchronization - Data gathering, aggregation and dissemination - Intelligent sensors - Power Management and energy-efficient design - Cross-layer architectures - Security and dependability issues - Modeling and performance evaluation - Measurements PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be limited to 5 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines (ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/INSTRUCT.HTM). All submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF file and submit it to persens2006 at ing.unipi.it.

The key element of GeoLIM is its ability to transform delay measurements between landmarks (probe machines) and a target host, into geographic distance constraints. It uses multilateration - alike GPS - to estimate the geographic location of the target host. We're seeking your help, looking for various types of network access, as for instance, with the same IP adress, estimate your location when you access the internet through a low or high-speed line (telephone or DSL/LAN). We ask you to test the geolocation solution through the above web page. This will take you no more than 3 minutes! Just Click on http://planetlab-01.ipv6.lip6.fr:10000/cbg.php We're also looking for more Landmark nodes (nodes used to provide the coordinates of the system, therefore, we need to be able to ping a host whose location is known). We'll be glad if you could provide us with such a host. Do not hesitate to distribute this mail to colleagues interested. The test is carried out on Planetlab (http://www.planet-lab.org/). We thank you for your contribution. More details about our algorithm can be found at (http://rp.lip6.fr/~gueye/articles/imc.pdf) Contact : bamba.gueye(a)lip6.fr ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Serge Fdida http://www.lip6.fr/rp/~sf

New delegate from Korea
by Otto Spaniol 24 Aug '05

24 Aug '05

Dear all, I have contacted via email the GA representatives of all the 12 IFIP countries which don't have a delegate (or whose delegate is pretty much inactive since a long time). Results til now: - Ireland will launch a temder competition very soon (see below) hopefully with a positive result. - Republic of Korea has nominated Prof. Il Y. Chong (see also below). - Another GA member from a country with a very inactive delegate has promised to think about nominating another national representative. And finally: Guy Leduc has been officially confirmed as national delegate from Belgium (in succession of our honorary member Andre Danthine). Adam (Grzech): Would you, please, send an invitation to our new delegate from Korea. I don't have more than his name and his email address (see below) for the moment being. Best regards Otto ------------- Dear Otto, I will shortly be launching a tender competition for national delegates for TCs, to coincide with the start of the 2005/06 academic year (i.e. when people are around to pay attention). Please note that my email address is Declan.brady(a)ie.fujitsu.com Best regards, --Declan ------------- Dear Prof. Otto Spaniol Korea Information Science Society appointed Prof. Il Y. Chong as a TC6 Korean representative. Please contact him. His e-mail address is iychong(a)hufs.ac.kr . Sincerely yours Dong Yoon
