Dear colleagues,
meanwhile I found out a little more about the new Kouvatsos event.
There are two other IFIP delegates within the 151 committee members.
- Villy Baek Iversen (who was not contacted by Kouvatsos and had never
heard of
the event before; probably he is in the list since they included a lot
of people from the Euro3GI proposal which has just been submitted
to the EU - and Villy Baek is like me a member of the enormous list
of partners).
- Ioannis Stavrakakis (the new 6.3 chairman) who is said to have accepted
to act as a co-chair for one of the tracks - maybe without telling him
anything about side effects which this might have for TC6.
Indeed, if you make a Google search for "Ilkley Kouvatsos" you will
find interesting information such as the following (see below) which
was sent to SIGMETRICS and which says that HET-NETs "follows the earlier
series of IFIP events on the performance modelling and evaluation of
ATM & IP networks". I'm quite suprised that apparently IFIP TC6
was not at all informed about this successorship. This is another
example of "how to make (much!) money by using the name of IFIP TC6".
As a certain consolation: It is good that it is still possible
to make money out of our institution even if we by ourselves
are not really the most clever people to make profit out of it.
Best regards
Otto Spaniol

Dear Colleagues,
FIRST INTERNATIONAL WORKING CONFERENCE
ON
PERFORMANCE MODELLING AND EVALUATION OF HETEROGENEOUS NETWORKS
(HET-NETs '03)
ILKLEY, U.K., 21-23 JULY, 2003.
The HET-NETs '03 Working Conference follows the earlier series of IFIP
events on the performance modelling and evaluation of ATM & IP
networks. The event has useful links with the major EU funded project
"IASON" dealing with the design and development of a generic
performance evaluation platform for services interoperability and
networks. "IASON" involves strong industrial participation and the
co-ordinator of the project, Dr. Michael Dopfer, Head of Information
and Communication Mobile Networks/Mobile Core, Munich (Siemens AG),
Germany, has kindly accepted to act the Co-Chair on the special track
on 'Performance Measurement Platforms'. Moreover, the conference is
organised in collaboration with the proposed EU Network of Excellence
(NoE) Consortium "Euro-3Gi" which involves over 50 of the very best EU
research groups focusing on the design and dimensioning of the 3rd
generation Internet. Professor Daniel Kofman, ENST-INFRES Institute,
Paris, France, the co-ordinator of "Euro-3Gi", has kindly agreed to act
as the Co-Chair for the special track on 'Performance Modelling
Studies' concerning the convergence of multiservice heterogeneous
networks. Finally, Professor Ioannis Stavrakakis, Head of
Communication Networks Lab (CNL), Department of Informatics &
Telecommunications, University of Athens, has kindly accepted to act as
the Co-Chair for the special track on Methodologies and Analytic
Tools. It is envisaged that the latter track may also attract a few
contributions from other application areas of discrete flow systems,
where new analytical advances might be of relevance to the performance
modelling of telecommunication systems of diverse technologies.
There is already a lot of enthusiasm and support from colleagues for
the staging of HET-NETs '03 at international level. Your research group
is cordially invited to participate and make a technical input. It is
envisaged that the event will make an effective contribution to both
structuring research in the performance modelling field and spreading
the excellence worldwide.
All the very best,
Demetres Kouvatsos
Dear Guy,
Have you agreed in supporting this event?
Best regards
Augusto

Dear Otto
I agree with your analysis of the situation of this event.
I was not aware of the sponsorship of the WG6.2 ...
May be Guy knows more about it.
In any case, the event seems to be very big and we should be aware
of that if we want to support it...

*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...

Dear colleagues,
I got the Call for Papers of another "Kouvatsos event"
(HET-NET 03, July 21-23, Ilkley, UK); see below.
It is claimed that the event is "supported by IFIP WG6.2"
but this is a little doubtful. At least the event is not
in our calendar.
There is a really enormous list of committee members
(151 without the organizing committee!) but apart from
Guy Pujolle (who may not even know about that) there seems
to be no single TC6 member in the list! As far as I remember
we have always had problems with the way of how these
conferences are organized - and we have at least asked
that the series should be international, i.e. that it should be held
sometimes also outside of Ilkley, UK.
Augusto: Do we get sponsorship fee and/or royalties from
this event? Did we get such contributions from the Kouvatsos
events in the past? I believe that we should discuss that in Budapest.
Best regards
Otto

Craiglands Hotel*, Ilkley, West Yorkshire, U.K.
(* The Craiglands is a delightful Victorian country hotel on the edge of the
beautiful Yorkshire Dales and near the famed Ilkley Moor.)
Over recent years a considerable amount of effort has been devoted, both in
industry and academia, towards the performance modelling, evaluation and
convergence of multi-service networks of diverse technology, such as IP, ATM,
MPLS, D-WDM, IPO, WLL, xDSL, Metro-WDM, Gigabit Ethernet, WLAN, Ad-hoc as
well
as GSM, GPRS, 3G UMTS mobile systems and all-optical networks. However, many
interesting and important traffic engineering, technological and performance
issues need to be addressed and resolved before a global and wide-scale
integrated broadband network infrastructure can be established for the
efficient support of multimedia applications. Of crucial importance is the
design and dimensioning of the next generation Internet with quality of
service
(QoS) guarantees including the creation of generic evaluation platforms
capable
of measuring the performance of heterogeneous networks, services inter-
operability and applications. Moreover, robust quantitative methodologies are
needed, such as those based on novel queueing network models, neural networks
and stochastic Petri nets, leading to both credible and cost-effective
approximations and algorithms for the performance prediction of heterogeneous
networks. These powerful and realistic tools applied to the analysis of other
types of discrete flow systems, such as computer systems, transportation
networks and flexible manufacturing systems, may also be, by analogy, of
relevance.
The aim of the First International Working Conference on Heterogeneous
Networks
(HET-NET '03) is to contribute to fundamental research in networks of diverse
technology and internetworking issues and focus on their
performance/reliability modelling and analysis. The event is staged under the
auspices of the proposed EU Network of Excellence (NoE) Euro-NGi for the
design
and dimensioning of the 3G Internet and beyond in collaboration with two
major
industrial on the main EU consortiums related to two current IST projects in
the field, namely, IASON focusing on the design and development of
performance
measurement platforms for heterogeneous networks and EVOLUTE dealing with
seamless multimedia services over all IP-based infrastructures. As in earlier
performance modelling and evaluation ATM & IP events in Bradford and Ilkley,
U.K., the Working Conference provides the friendly and informal
atmosphere in
which participants from all over the world introduce new concepts, exchange
novel ideas and establish new operational solutions and research
initiatives.
In particular, delegates are encouraged to address
. Traffic Engineering and performance modelling aspects of existing and
emerging Internet technologies towards the convergence of
telecommunications,
multi-service networking and broadcasting;
. Design and development of performance evaluation platforms for multi-
services inter-operability and heterogeneous networks;
. Methods and solutions for seamless mobility and heterogeneous mobile
network optimization, capacity utilization and resource management,
based on
enhanced performance against traditional and current state of the art
mechanisms;
. Analytic and simulation methodologies for QNMs and SPNs with self-
similar and multi-fractal traffic models of long-range (LRD) versus
short-range
(SRD) dependence and their approximation, with tolerable accuracy, by
simpler
traffic processes.
It is envisaged that HET-NETs '03 will make an effective contribution to
both
structuring research in the performance modelling field and spreading the
excellence worldwide.
