FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
Fourth International Conference on Integrated Formal Methods
IFM2004
http://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/ifm2004
(submission deadline: 15th September 2003)
--------------------------------------------------------------
April 5-7, 2004
Canterbury, Kent, England.
Theme
-------
Applying formal methods may involve the modelling
of different aspects of a system that are expressed
through different paradigms. This motivates us to
research the combination of different viewpoints upon
a system, either by the creation of hybrid notations,
by extending existing notations, by translating between
notations, or by incorporating a wider perspective by
innovative use of an existing notation.
The integration of formal methods promises great benefits
for systems modelling and software development.
Whichever approach is taken, significant issues can arise
in areas such as semantic integration, the tractability of
notations, the integration of tool support, the integration of
proof systems, consistency and completeness. Issues arise
equally in our modelling of systems at different levels
of abstraction and the development of these models through the
process of refinement.
The scope of IFM2004 includes all aspects of integration of
different notations, paradigms, and tools, including integration of
state-based and behavioural formalisms, and the formal
strengthening of informal notations (e.g., UML). Special sessions
are planned on the themes of Unifying Theories of Programming as
well as Testing, and submissions for these are welcomed.
The necessity of tool support for formal methods is widely
accepted. However, much existing tool support fails to exploit
the advantages that formality brings. This year's IFM is therefore
particularly interested in how integrating formal methods can
facilitate tool support for the development process, either by
integrating tools or exploiting the particular languages combined.
The conference also seeks and welcomes contributions in related
areas such as: hybrid systems, the embedding of one formalism within
another, and the integration of formal methods with informal or
semi-formal diagrammatic notations and structuring techniques.
Submissions
------------
Submissions should be original work, not published or submitted
elsewhere. Submissions may be up to 20 pages in length and should
be prepared with LaTeX. Springer Verlag will publish the conference
proceedings in the series 'Lecture Notes in Computer Science', and
hence the submissions should be prepared using the 'llncs'
package (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). The first
page of the paper should contain an abstract of the paper, a list of
keywords, the names, affiliations and emails of the authors. The
contact authors should further provide their fax numbers as well
as their phone numbers.
The corresponding author should send by email a 'ps' or a 'pdf' form
of the paper to the address eab2(a)ukc.ac.uk, with the subject
line "Submission to IFM2004". If electronic submission is not possible,

CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue of Computer Networks (Elsevier) on
Future Advances in Military Communications Systems & Technologies
Since the end of the Cold War there have been numerous advances in the Telecommunications Technologies that support the tactical operational support of modern military personnel. The requirement today is for rapid deployment of military assets in remote parts of the world, often in environmentally hostile geography. This places an ever-increasing dependence on Information and Communications Technology to provide real-time fault-tolerant QoS command, control and data management over fixed and freespace communications transport infrastructures. The ability of the modern combatant to have an array of 'on-board' sensor feeds to various components of the central command and control stack using a combination of HF Radio, SATCOM, spread spectrum or IP protocols places added pressure on the communications stack to provide an fully integrated network management solution for the Digital Battlefield.
Key services that need to be provided include: node and network mobility (NEMO, MIP), request admission control, energy efficient device operation (e.g. IP address management or DNS), intelligent QoS-based network resource provisioning, error-free physical and MAC-layer protocols and robust security. In all of these sub-level communications technologies there is a challenge to provide more effective topology transition and data management mechanisms in order that any ad-hoc network can self-heal without impacting user data communications sessions after exception condition events have been detected.
This special issue of Computer Networks is intended to foster the dissemination of high quality research in Integrated Mobility and Ad-hoc Networking in Military Networks (e.g. dealing with geolocation, rapid deployment of real-time intelligence data gathering). In recent years this has become an area of great interest with sessions at NOMS, MILCOM, and IFIP/IEEE IM as well as papers in COMNET, IEEE and ACM Journals. It is the objective of this special issue to publish papers presenting methodology, performance, and methods for providing/increasing mobility and the ability to configure an ah-hoc network at the necessary levels of QoS in support of military operations. This performance can be shown by analysis, simulation or implementation with preference being given to papers providing comparisons of alternatives used via air, land and sea.
Only technical papers describing previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research, and not currently under review by another conference or journal will be considered. We solicit papers covering a variety of topics related to Future Advances in Military Communications Systems & Technologies including, but not limited to:
Mobility Management in Tactical Networks
Routing Protocols for the Digital Battlefield
Supporting Mobility in Topology Transition Networks
Address Allocation & Management in Hostile Networking Environments
Security Architectures for Ad-Hoc Networking
Tactical Self-organising Sensor Networks
QoS Resource Provisioning for MANET
Emerging SATCOM systems and architectures
Physical and MAC-Layer Protocols
Intelligent Agents for Network & Data Management
Network Switching Architectures and Protocols
Modeling and simulation of tactical communications systems
Real-time Fault Tolerant Protocols
Quantum Key Distribution in SATCOM
