Dear all,
the IFIP treasurer (Dipak Khakhar, email see below) has presented
the TC budgets (see annex) and in particular the DCSC (developing country
support committee) funds for 2005.
*** If a TC6 conference wants to get a support from DCSC
then the organisor should send a request as soon as possible
to Dipak (deadline August 16) with a copy to me. ***
DCSC could be interesting for (at least) the following conferences in 2005:
Working Conference on Networking for Metropolitan Area Networks;
Working Conference on Electronic Government
WG 6.2 + 6.11;
March 28 - 31, 2005; Ho-Chi-Minh City (Vietnam);
Open Conference; 7th Conference on Mobile and Wireless Communications
Networks (MWCN'05)
WG6.2 + WG6.8 + IEEE
Fall, 2005; Marrakesh (Morocco);
Email contact: Hamid Aghvami
Best regards
Otto

10th IEEE/IFIP
Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS 2006)
http://www.noms2006.org
Call for Papers
?Management of Integrated
End-to-end Communications and Services"
The 10th IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management
Symposium (NOMS 2006) will be held 3-7 April 2006 in
the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Center, Vancouver,
Canada. Held in even-numbered years since 1988, NOMS 2006
will follow the 18 year tradition of NOMS and IM as the
primary forum for technical exchange of the research,
standards, development, systems integration, service
provider, and user communities. NOMS 2006 will present
up-to-date approaches and technical solutions for
integrated systems and services including communication
networks, host systems, enterprise applications, service
oriented architectures, and delivery of management services.
The conference provides a peer-reviewed program of technical
sessions, application sessions, tutorials, posters, and
panels as well as vendor exhibits.
Integrated systems and services require considerations for
today?s multi-service and multi-domain environment of
heterogeneous technologies, service offerings, management
strategies, and business models. NOMS 2006 focuses on
integrated management that encompasses provisioning,
operation, and maintenance. This broad scope also calls
for an integrated approach to dependability, resilience,
quality-of-service, mobility management, and services
billing. In particular, these considerations include the
combination of wireless and wired networks and the
integration of all-IP communication systems.
NOMS 2006 will offer five types of sessions:
technical, application, poster, panel, and BoF. Technical
sessions present high-quality papers on the latest
research results in the network operations and management
area. Application sessions present papers focusing on the
experience of IT and telecommunications industries, such
as service providers, OSS vendors, and equipment
manufacturers. The scope here includes customer
requirements, management system implementations, and
business practices. Poster sessions provide an insight
into work-in-progress. Panel sessions focus on business
implications, market trends, and emerging applications
with panelists who are technology and business leaders.

Dear all,
please find enclosed the preliminary agenda for meeting 2005/2
as well as the actual attendance list.
The deadline for submission of material into the meeting documents
is over. We have only reports from WG 6.4, 6.8, 6.11.
Any other document should be copied (30 times) by the respective producer
and brought to Wroclaw. There will be an incredible confusion of loose
pages (what we intended to stop) but as long as the reactions
of WG chairs are so "timely" as in this particular case
there will be no improvement.
Best regards and see many of you soon

The Third IEEE Workshop on Embedded Networked Sensors (EmNets 2006)
May 30-31, 2006
Maxwell Dworkin Hall, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA
http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/emnets/
The Third Workshop on Embedded Networked Sensors (EmNets 2006) will
focus on groundbreaking research in wireless sensor systems with an
emphasis on three topic areas: (1) Emerging research directions for
sensor networks; (2) Application experiences; and (3) Early results
from new research efforts. In keeping with the focused workshop
format, EmNets encourages submissions that present exciting new work,
challenge conventional ideas, propose new research directions,
evaluate real-world applications and deployments, and generate
controversy. We especially welcome papers reporting on highly original
or risky research, position papers, and reports on application
experiences and deployments, which may not otherwise be published as
full conference papers.
We specifically discourage submissions that are short versions of
papers that will be submitted to other conferences in the near future,
since our goal is to engage the research community in a discussion of
future challenges and issues for sensor networks. EmNets 2006 is
supported in cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society (pending).
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
-New application domains for sensor networks
-Sensor network architecture and protocols
-Applications, testbeds, and real-world deployment experiences
-Distributed algorithms and computation
-Operating systems and network programming paradigms
-Management, debugging, troubleshooting, and measurement tools
-Data storage issues
-Transport and dissemination
-Distributed actuation and control
-Fault tolerance and reliability
-Security, vulnerabilities, and defenses
-Architectural insight, analysis and fundamental limits
Submissions:
Please submit position papers or short papers describing early
research results. Submitted papers should be no longer than five
two-column pages, including all figures and references, using 10-point
fonts, standard spacing, and 1-inch margins. For detailed submission
information see the workshop website.
