I suppose that this activity is in line with Springers trials for establishing an own "real" digital library. And it is probably a reaction to the continuous pressure by IFIP to make "something" in direction to a DL. >> This is somehow odd given that in the other email from Otto they are not >> really willing to do anything in support of an IFIP DL. Springer explained at the council meeting that they would not be interested in being the outsource provider for an intermediate digital library. For the third step, namely a "real" DL (at which cost?), Springer didn't make a statement. Concerning the intermediate digital library there was the "offer" made by Britisch Computer Society to take over their system which is not overwhelmingly powerful. When asked about cost Roger Johnson said that it would be 50 British Pounds per paper handled. According to him, this would be the same which is asked for BCS internally. Behind the doors, some people believed that this price is enormous. What do you think? Anyway, there was no decision made in Palma whether to take over the BCS system for IFIP or not. > >I have no idea whether IFIP asked Springer to set up such a system or >how it happened. >On some days it is hard to believe that we are all working together for >IFIP ---- there do >seem to be some real communications problems. Yes indeed, there are communication problems and misunderstanding. Let me give an example: In the recent email received from Guy P. where he recalls the story about the discussions with Springer (I attach the first part of the email below) you will see that there is a lot on Belize, South Korea and of bad snow) but you will also see that I was never on the recipients list of all those messages. You may imagine that I'm usually surprised about questions made in the IFIP publication committee when it comes to the problem of TC6 journal since I don' get any information about that. Thus communication should be really improved for a technical committee whose name is "communication systems". > >I am beginning to think that within TC6 we should decide what we think >is best and >do it, probably on a small scale with just one or two meeting >proceedings, being careful >to avoid copyright problems and stepping on other people's toes >as hard as they are stepping on ours! > Really I would like to see a concrete action rather than learning that agreed projects die (exceprt form a message received by Harry P.): >I was suprised to read in Otto's first message that Amy was looking for >Guy P. and me.

An open electronic journal may be the best solution but we will have to find a real sponsor for that. This is easier said than done. Concrete proposals are more than welcome. Best regards Otto ---------------------------------------------- The beginning of Guy Pujolle's message (everybody got a copy of it): Otto, Sorry for the late answer. I did not look at more of my email for a week. May be some questions are discussed more in details in next mails. Concerning the IFIP Journal and the events, you will find in the following an exchange of emails that finished on a confcall. In this confcall it was asked us all the email files we have to eventually advertized the future Journal, to produce a large number of contacts and a lot of things so that Springer can think about the possibility or not to launch the Journal. The very pessimistic conclusion of this confcall was interpreted by Harry and I as a negative answer to our proposal. However, we prepared a new proposal that was stopped by the conflict between Otto and Harry. At that point we were thinking Harry and I to have a free journal and DL, etc. So may be the Springer message after the confcall was not correctly intrepreted by Harry and I but I am not sure about that. I will be reading next mails during the week-end.

[CFP] Special Issue on Seamless Handover in Next Generation Wireless/Mobile Networks (Springer's International Journal on Wireless Personal Communication)
by Sunghyun Choi 12 Mar '06

12 Mar '06

Aplogies if you recieved this CFP multiple times. ---- Springer's International Journal on Wireless Personal Communication Special Issue on Seamless Handover in Next Generation Wireless/Mobile Networks Guest Editors Anand R. Prasad, DoCoMo Comm. Labs. Europe GmbH, Munich, Germany Selim Aissi, Intel Corporation, Portland, USA Sunghyun Choi, Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea Jeevarathinam Ravikumar, Consistel, Singapore Scope of Special Issue Mobile communication has evolved in a rapid pace from the introduction of Analog Cellular networks in 1980s. Technology has gone through tremendous changes in terms of security, access techniques, protocol stacks, bandwidth usage and also convergence into packet switching based on All-IP network from the conventional circuit switched techniques. Complexity has increased due to the introduction of different access technologies, available services, and other aspects as mentioned above during the telecom evolution for the past 20 years. Pressure is mounting to harmonize various technologies under a common IP backbone so that seamless handover can be provided that exploits the benefits of available radio access technologies. Seamless handover should be achieved not only for Inter-Technology but also for Inter-Operator handover. Operators and the consumers will be greatly benefited in terms of cost effectiveness, enhanced features, location independence and ease of use through the introduction of seamless heterogeneous handover mechanisms. Several standardization activities have already started working on technical solutions for seamless handover. One of the well known activities is that of next-generation networks (NGN) making use of IMS based solution for service provisioning and handover between fixed and mobile operators. Within 3GPP and 3GPP2, activities are on-going to provision handover between different technologies and recently, in 3GPP, between different domains. This activity within 3GPP falls under All-IP Network (AIPN) System Architecture Evolution (SAE)/Radio Access Network (RAN) Long Term Evolution (LTE). IEEE 802 is also looking into media-independent handover (MIH) in 802.21 while 802.11u is working on inter-technology handover. Handover enhancement within IEEE 802.11 is taking place within Task Group R (TGr). IETF has produced some solutions in the seamoby working group while further enhancements are being done in various other groups including mobopts, mipshop and mobike. Along with standardization activities, various operators and vendors are also involved in developing harmonized solution for heterogeneous networks, like, UMA. At the same time a lot of research and development activities are taking place by academia, research institutes and industries too. So far, the work has focused on one specific topic of handover such as security, QoS, and routing. However, the focus should be on developing an end-to-end network perspective that covers the whole span of the network from radio aspects to OSS aspects that includes value added services. With the above background, this special issue invites people to present papers on seamless handover in heterogeneous networks in the following (but, not limited to) areas: - Handover security - Solutions for mobility support - Charging and billing, and AAA infrastructure - Fraud Management across various networks - Access Control techniques in heterogeneous networks - QoS provisioning for inter-technology and intra-/inter-domain handover - Content provisioning and seamless use of VAS across different networks - Standardization activities - Testbed or measurement results Important dates Deadline of paper submissions: 15th May 2006 Notification of acceptance: 1st October 2006 Final Manuscripts Due: 1st November 2006 Publication of Feature Topic: February 2007 Submission Papers should follow the Springer format (11pt, single column, double spaced) and not exceed twenty pages including figures and tables.

Dear Raghavan, Just two comments. It would be convenient to find another title for the anceint series of Netwroking because now there is a very successful series of conferences (next one in coimbra next May) with the same title. If you decide to go ahead with this idea I suggest to contact with Ana Pont (Developing countries) and I offer my cooperation to set up this new series.
