CALL FOR PAPER http://wocn2004.tjer.net/ First IFIP International Conference on Wireless and Optical Communications Networks WOCN 2004 June 7-10, 2004, Sultan Qaboos University Muscat, Oman The First IEEE and IFIP International Conference on wireless and Optical Communications Networks (WOCN 2004) invites high-quality recent research results in the areas of Mobile and Wireless Communications, optical communications and networking, architectures, protocols, planning and design, management and operation. The main goal of the conference is to bring together scientists and engineers who work on wireless and optical communications networks. The First IEEE and IFIP International Conference on Mobile and Wireless Communications and Optical communications Networks (WOCN 2004) will be held in Muscat, Oman 2004. WOCN 2004 is the first conference in its series aimed at stimulating technical exchange in the emerging and important field of mobile, wireless and Optical communications networks. WOCN 2004 seeks to address and capture highly innovative and state of the art research and work in the wireless and Optical industries. The scope of the conference includes a wide range of technical challenges in view of the growing interest for wireless access to Internet and the evolution of third generation cellular systems included ITU IMT/UMTS. The conference also accepts progress on IST European Commission funded research projects. The Authors can present their finding on wireless quality of service, resource management, Ad Hoc and sensor networks. Radio interface design, adaptive antennas and arrays and indoor propagation, measurement and predictions also will be considered. A growing number of digital devices inside homes and the application of Ultra Wide Band (UWB), as well as Spectrum efficiency and low power consumption including low cost and secure wireless personal access are some of the areas to be considered in this conference. Optical communications networks are becoming increasingly important as the demand for high capacity links are required. Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) is widely deployed at the core networks to accommodate high capacity transport systems. Optical components, such as optical amplifier, tunable filters, transceivers, termination devices and add-drop multi-plexers are becoming more affordable and reliable. Access and metropolitan area networks are increasingly built with optical technologies to overcome the electronic bottleneck at network edges. New components and subsystems for very high speed optical networks offer new design options. The objective of this event is therefore to foster the exchange of information among researchers in this fast-moving field. The authors can present their finding on new Fibers, optical fiber gratings and devices, optical amplifiers, optical sensing and medical application of fiber optics and opto-electronics.

Good news from Finland

von Otto Spaniol

Dear all, I received the following news from Reino Kurki-Suonio (the "ex" IFIP national representative from Finland). It states that Olli Martikainen who is well known to most of us has been (re-)nominated as TC6 national delegate from Finland and that I'm allowed to appoint him - what I do with greatest pleasure. Olli: welcome back to the TC6 club!!! Please send me your full coordinates (phone, mobile, fax,..etc.). For other members: The email address of Olli is Olli.Martikainen(a)etla.fi Best wishes Otto --------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Otto, Good to hear from you. I'm glad you are taking the responsibility for TC6 again. In fact I am no longer a member of the council, and also my successor to the GA has been appointed already, but my relationship with IFIP still continues with WCC2004. I'm happy to tell you that Olli Martikainen has already been chosen as the new TC6 representative from Finland. A letter about new nominations should havebeen sent recently to IFIP headquarters. (Formally it is the TC Chair who appoints TC members, so you can now appoint him!). With best regards, Reino

Responsibilities for National Representatives

von gjo＠daimlerchrysler.com

Dear Colleagues: Please find attached the updated description of responsibilities for National Representatives. As I mentioned to you earlier, I tried to keep the document as brief as possible. When I mailed my first draft on November 18, 2003, I included the input from TC3 and TC11. Since then, I included in this version, input from TC7 and additional information from TC5. Hopefully, I have captured everyone's ideas. Gus Olling TC5 Chair (See attached file: Responsibilties.doc)

Dear all, please let me first thank you so much for the enormous degree of confidence which you have expressed for me AND FOR RAMON. Indeed, the total number of votes which have been received (much higher than in other elections) is a clear sign that TC6 is very alive and that delegates and WG chairpersons care about the committees. Some words concerning my candidature should be in order: as I was TC6 chairman from 1992 until 1997 I didn't consider a new period as chairman at all. However, in July and in August 2003 the list of potential candidates was empty therefore I was then contacted by quite a substantial number of delegates who asked me, and sometimes urged, me to do the job again. And even when another candidate emerged (in September 2003) I was again contacted by several delegates asking me to uphold my candidature. At the end of the day I couldn't resist them ... and now we have to live the outcome. During the last weeks (and not knowing anything about the result of the voting) Ramon and myself tried to arrive at a suitable strategy how to best serve TC6. We agreed that we will form a team (which will work very well since we are very good friends). We agreed that the best solution would be to have two co-chairs (such as e.g. in WG 6.8) but I'm not sure - and rather sceptical - whether this would be in line with the rules of IFIP. If such a solution is not possible then Ramon will act as vice-chairman. We are absolutely sure that this will be a win-win situation for TC6. Finally, my sincerest thanks go to Augusto who paved the way for a very strong position of TC6 both within IFIP and outside. Both Ramon and myself will rely on his experience in order to further substantiate the position of TC6 in the IFIP Council and the General Assembly. Thus, let's look optimistically into the future. And let's follow the motto of Sepp Herberger, the coach of the German soccer team which won the world championship in 1954). He said: "After the match is before the match". Best wishes to all of you and many thanks once again Otto *********************************************************************** SPANIOL Otto, Prof. Dr. Tel.: +49-241-80 21400/401 Aachen University of Technology Home: +49-241-57 45 90 Computer Science Department FAX: +49-241-80 22220 D - 52056 Aachen Email: Office address: spaniol(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de Ahornstrasse 55 www: http://www-i4.informatik.
