Subject: Forthcoming IFIP TC 6 Meeting
Dear Our Guests,
The venue of the next TC6 meeting will be Ericsson's premises in Budapest,
Hungary.
Address: Budapest, Irínyi József u. 4-20. , XI. district
The meeting room is on the ground floor (for English people first floor)

or other).
If you have not reserved your hotel room yet, please do it. Most of you
will stay at Hotel Korona.
(If you choose Hotel Korona please indicate that you come to Ericsson, to
the IFIP TC6 meeting, because the 88 EUs price is a special Ericsson rate).

PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE FOR THE EVENT IS

Best regards,
Giancarlo Prati
Dear all,
until now a percect number of delegates have confirmed their
attendance, namely 28 (see annex).
Comment: A number is called perfect if the sum of its integer factors
(excluding itself, of course) is equal to the number.
28 is one of the few perfect numbers since 28 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14.
Other perfect numbers are 6 and 496. There are not very many of them
and I don't really know whether there is another one.
However, it is unknown (as far as I know) whether the the total
number of them is finite or infinite.
There are still some answers missing (from Australia, France, India,... and
a few others).
A nonperfect number of attendees would be even better and maybe the largest
attendance in TC6 history.
Thus I wait for some positive answers.
Best regards
Otto

"Managing New Networked Worlds"
The Ninth IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network
Management (IM 2005) will be held 16-19 May 2005 in Nice, France. IM
2005 will present the latest technical advances in the area of
management, operations and control of networks, networking services,
networked applications, and distributed systems. Held in odd-numbered
years since 1989 and taking turns with its sibling conference NOMS, IM
2005 will build on the successes of its predecessors and serve as the
primary forum for technical exchange among the research, standards,
vendor and user communities in the network management field. The
symposium is sponsored by the International Federation for Information
Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and
Distributed Systems, and by the IEEE Communications Society Technical
Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM).
We are witnessing the dawn of a new era in networking. New networked
worlds emerge in which connectivity becomes increasingly ubiquitous
and the infrastructure blends in seamlessly with business functions,
applications, and the supported environment. These new worlds are no
longer only characterized by the increasing heterogeneity and number
of devices, but also by properties such as convergence, context
awareness, accelerated service lifecycles, virtualization of
resources, massive P2P infrastructures, unprecedented security
challenges, and much more. Further, new types of networks are
emerging such as sensor networks, agent networks, storage-area
networks, and grid-based networks. All of this incurs new challenges
and opportunities for network management and the ways in which it is
approached, requiring management technology to evolve as rapidly as
the new networked worlds.
IM 2005 will be organized into technical sessions, panels, and
tutorials. In addition, it will feature application sessions focusing
on practical lessons learned by the user and vendor communities,
posters, birds-of-a-feather sessions, and vendor exhibits. In the
tradition of previous events, we strive to make the IM 2005 Symposium
the highest quality professional event of the year. Paper submissions
will undergo a stringent review process implemented by the Technical
Program Committee which includes many of the most respected experts in
the field.
