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);

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.

Call for Papers
The 3rd IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad hoc and Sensor Systems
(MASS-2006)
October 9 - 12, 2006
Vancouver, Canada
http://www.ieee-mass.org
Sponsored by
IEEE Communications Society, IEEE TC on Distributed Processing and TC on Simulation
OVERVIEW
Earlier research in wireless networks and mobile computing has concentrated on single-hop
networks, where network nodes communicate directly with a fixed infrastructure, such as
cellular or satellite systems. More recently, interest in multi-hop networks, such as mobile
ad hoc networks and sensor networks, has stimulated a significant amount of scientific research.
In particular, wireless mesh networking (a new community network architecture) has been proposed
as an alternative for providing Internet access to business and residential customers. This
conference focuses on multi-hop ad hoc and sensor networks systems, covering topics ranging
from physical issues to applications.
TOPICS
Manuscripts that focus on analytical modeling, protocol/algorithm design, and/or experimental
studies of the following topics of interest are sought:
- Channel behavior modeling and its impact on design of higher-layer protocols
- Directional and smart antennas for ad hoc networks
- MAC protocols for ad hoc and sensor networks (802.11, 802.15.4, UWB)
- Provisioning of wireless QoS; e.g., bandwidth and delay assurance
- Routing protocols (unicast, multicast, broadcast, geocast) and routing metrics
- Data transport in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks
- Power-aware and energy-efficient design
- Topology construction and maintenance of coverage
- Cross-layer design and optimization
- Incentives and game theoretic approaches in wireless ad hoc networks
- Localization and synchronization in wireless sensor networks
- Data gathering, fusion, and dissemination in wireless sensor
- Reliability, security, and trustworthiness in ad hoc and sensor networks
- Operating system and middleware support
- Applications of multi-hop technology
SUBMISSION
Technical papers: All submissions must be full papers in .pdf or .ps (PostScript) format. Papers
must be uploaded to EDAS by March 31, 2006, and must not exceed 10 single-spaced, two-column pages

published in due time on the conference website http://www.ieee-mass.org together with format files.
Workshops: Proposals for full day workshops are solicited. Selections will be made considering the
expertise and experience of the workshop organizers and the relevance of the topic to the central
theme of the conference. Proposals of at most 4 pages, including a 1-page biographical sketch, should be
submitted to the Workshops Chair, Elizabeth M. Belding-Royer (ebelding(a)cs.ucsb.edu ) by March 31, 2006.
