Dear TC6 members,
The deadline for hotel registration in Libon ended yesterday. I managed to
get an extension of that deadline until September 13th. Please remember that
the hotel cannot guarantee rooms after that date. I would thank also that
those of you who come to the Lisbon meeting, but are not staying in the
Melia Hotel, please let me know.
Best regards
Augusto

MMNS 2003
6th IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia Networks and Services
7th - 10th September 2003, Queen's University of Belfast, Northern Ireland
http://www.ee.qub.ac.uk/mmns2003
Second Call For Papers
Multimedia services over IP networks are proliferating at an enormous speed. There
is also increasing demand for solutions which provide assured levels of service quality.
All of these require novel paradigms, models and architectures for realising integrated
end-to-end service management rather than managing network elements in isolation.
Providing scalable Quality of Service (QoS) while maintaining fairness, along with
secure and optimal network resource management are key challenges for the future
Internet. These challenges apply to both fixed and wireless networks.
The IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia Networks and Services
will hold its sixth annual meeting from September 7th to September 10th, 2003 in Belfast,
Northern Ireland. MMNS provides an intimate setting for discussion and debate. In just 6 years,
MMNS has established itself as one of the premier conferences with a focus on the management
of multimedia networks and services. The conference objective is to bring together researchers
working in all facets of network and service management as applied to broadband networks and
multimedia services. MMNS deals with all aspects of designing, developing and deploying
networked multimedia systems and it serves as a forum for the dissemination of state-of-the-art
research and development results.
MMNS 2003 will also include panel sessions in which experts
offer their observations and opinions about current hot topics. The keynote speaker will be
Professor Ian Akyildiz, Georgia Institute of Technology who will present a vision of future
interplanetary network architectures. Professor Derek McAuley, head of Intel's recently formed
laboratory at Cambridge, UK, will describe some of the new research being undertaken on global
overlay networks and applications.
The program committee is soliciting original papers describing research in the area of
management of multimedia networks and services. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to, the following:
* Active multimedia network management
* Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks
* Augmented and Virtual Reality Networks
* Billing and Accounting
* Cable multimedia network management
* Content distribution internetworking
* Deployment of multimedia services
* Distributed multimedia service management
* End-to-end IP multimedia network and service management
* IP Video, streaming, interactive video service management
* Middleware support for management
* Multimedia network traffic engineering and optimization
* Multimedia traffic management
* Multimedia content protection
* Multimedia session management
* Multi-point, multicast services management
* Network management models and architectures
* Network programmability for multimedia services
* Optical multimedia network management
* Policy-based management for multi-media services
* Provisioning of multimedia networks and services
* QoS in WLANs
* QoS management
* Resource, performance and fault management

*IWQoS 2003*
Eleventh International Workshop on Quality of Service
Monterey, California, June 2-4, 2003
http://iwqos03.cs.berkeley.edu/
Sponsored by National Science Foundation,
IEEE Communications Society and IFIP WG6.1
in cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM and ACM SIGMOBILE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Please find programm and registration information below...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
Please find a preliminary version of the detailed programm below...

The ubiquitous explosion of the Internet and the fast proliferation of
distributed computing involving all kinds of computing devices create
a unique challenge. Innovative solutions are required for the
development, implementation and operation of distributed applications
in complex IT environments full of diversity and
heterogeneity. Following the evolution of the field, DAIS'03 will
focus on models, technologies and platforms for reconfigurable,
scalable and adaptable distributed applications.
DAIS'03 will provide a forum for researchers, application and platform
service vendors and users, to review, discuss and learn about new

Components, EJB, .NET),
- modelling, specifying, monitoring and management of context-aware and
adaptive applications,
- support for reconfiguration, self-organisation and autonomic behaviour
in new/existing distributed platforms (e.g. CORBA, J2EE, .NET,
WebServices),
- integration of multi-agent distributed decision-making,
- application environments that exploit characteristics of specific
technologies (e.g. grid computing, mobile and wireless),

CALL FOR PAPERS
6th ACM MSWiM 2003
The Sixth International Workshop on Modeling, Analysis and
Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems
(Jointly with ACM MobiCom 2003, September 14-19)
September 19, 2003
San Diego, CA, USA
http://www.cs.unibo.it/mswim2003/
MSWiM is intended to provide an international forum for the
discussion and presentation of original ideas, recent
results and achievements by researchers, students, and
systems developers on issues and challenges related to
mobile and wireless systems.
Authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and
practical results of significance on all aspects of
modeling, analysis and simulation of mobile computing and
wireless networks.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Performance evaluation and modeling of mobile and
wireless communication networks
* Simulation and analysis of wireless protocols and mobile
computing systems
* Integrated simulation and measurement based evaluation
of mobile and wireless systems
* Survivability and reliability evaluation and modeling
* RF channel capacity modeling and analysis
* Design methodologies for wireless systems
* Network support for QoS provisioning in wireless and
mobile networks
* Modeling and analysis of wireless Internet access
* Traffic measurements and models for audio, video,
multimedia, and WWW services
* New simulation languages and tools for wireless systems
* Database management systems and mobile computing
(location-based queries, wireless data caching, mobile
transactions)
* Wireless data dissemination (broadcasting and indexing
techniques)
* Pervasive computing and ad hoc networking
* Wireless PANs, LANs
* Sensor networks
* Mobile agents support for wireless networks
PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
High-quality original papers are solicited. Papers must be
unpublished and must not be submitted for publication
elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed by Technical Program
Committee members and other experts active in the field to
ensure high quality and relevance to the conference. Paper
length should not exceed 20 pages. Only Postscript and PDF
formats are accepted. Papers must be submitted
electronically through the EDAS system.
For paper submission, please follow the submission
instructions at:
http://www.cs.unibo.it/mswim2003/
Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings
published by by ACM CS-press.
A Special Issue with ACM/Baltzer MONET/WINET will be planned
which will contain selected papers from MSWiM.
