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

Network Operation & Management Symposium 2004
"Managing Next Generation Convergence Networks and Services"
Seoul Korea, 19-23, April 2004
See < http://www.noms2004.org/> for latest information
The 9th IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS 2004)
will
be held 19-23 April, 2004 at Seoul, Korea. Held in the even-numbered years
since 1988, NOMS 2004 will continue the established tradition of NOMS and IM
as the primary forum for technical exchange of research, standards,
development, systems integrator, service providers, and user communities.
NOMS
2004 will present the latest approaches and technical solutions in the area
of
network operations and management. An exciting, peer-reviewed program of
technical sessions, tutorials, posters, panels and vendor exhibits will
address the ever-increasing interest in overall management solutions for all
types of communications and computing networks, systems, services and
enterprise applications.
The concept of network convergence has recently emerged as a new attempt for
the merging of telephony and data networks into a single, multi-service
network exploiting the ubiquity of the Internet Protocol. For this
increasingly attractive business model, in both wired and wireless domains,
strategic research is required to devise the best integration architectures,
operations and management solutions. This creates a unique opportunity for
the
network operation and management community to respond to the ever-increasing
demand for network resilience, security, quality-of-service and mobility
management at unprecedented scales. The NOMS 2004 provides the forum for
discussing these research challenges and many others inherent to the
integrated management of next generation converged networks and services.
This year NOMS 2004 will broaden the scope of previous IM and NOMS by
expanding its program to include a broader set of topics ranging from
network
operation and management to network planning, service engineering and
business
processes for network and service management. Special attention will be
given
to experiences that emphasize lessons learned and reports on practice from
industry.
Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not
under
review in any other conference or journal. Authors are also invited to
submit
proposals for tutorials, panel discussions, poster demonstrations, or
birds-of-a-feather sessions.
Important Dates:
Deadline for Submitting Papers: 15 August 2003
Deadline for Tutorials, Panels and Posters: 1 October 2003
Notification of Acceptance:15 November 2003
Deadline for Submitting Revised Papers:15 December 2003
Final Camera Ready Papers Due 15 January 2004

Subject: [IFIP GA] Joint Statement on final agreement
Importance: High
From: Klaus Brunnstein and Plamen Nedkov
To: The IFIP General Assembly
Subject: Joint Statement
Date: July 25, 2003
Dear Members of the General Assembly,
Earlier this year you were made aware of some unfortunate
developments related to the status of the IFIP Executive Director.
Since the communication exchange to GA members of 20 May
both parties have refrained from public statements to GA in the
hope of achieving a mutually acceptable settlement.
With the help and mediation of the Austrian Academy of Sciences
a mutually acceptable agreement has been negotiated which closes
all the issues to the satisfaction of the parties involved.
Mr. Nedkov's long and valuable contribution to the development of
IFIP's work is gratefully acknowledged and IFIP will give him a
letter of recommendation to this effect in support of his efforts
to pursue a future career.
Both parties agree that further discussion would not be helpful
and have agreed to refrain from any unilateral public statements
on the matter.
Klaus Brunnstein Plamen Nedkov
IFIP President
Dear TC6 members,
For your information.
Best regards
Augusto Casaca

Subject: [IFIP GA] GA reports, secretariat, Publication issues
Dear members of IFIP GA,
before leaving for my annual sailing trip into the Denish
and Swedish Baltic sea, I wish to remind TC chairs and
member society representatives to send their report for
inclusion in GA binders to Dorothy, and for storage on IFIP
website to Roger.
Concerning our secretariat, you have received the message that
a convivial solution has been found to end Plamen Nedkov´s
work. EB is preparing the job description according to which
we will look for a new head of the secretariat. Roger will welcome
any suggestion and take them duly into account. At this time,
I am very happy to inform you that Dorothy (as interim head
of secretariat) and Brigitte (now on vacation for 2 weeks)
manage the secretariat very well and prepare everything for
GA@Vilnius which will be locally supported by our host and
Lithuanian representative, Renaldas Gudauskas. May I also
ask you to book your hotel soon and to send the related
information to Roger? Thanx for your cooperation.
Finally, the process for a new publication contract has been
started. I have nominated a small Publication Contract Committee,
including Basie van Solms (chair), Prins Ralston, Roger Johnson
and a representative of TC chairs (to be named). The status will
be reported in GA.
I am now off for the Baltic, and I have no Internet connectivity.
But secretariat and EB know how to reach me in urgent cases.
Best wishes, and take care: Klaus (July 26, 2003)
