Dear all,
you must have received the CfP for MEDHOCNET 2006
(Event number 6 in this series, Lipari, Italy, the first five
events organised by TC6, in particular by WG 6.8 and 6.2).
The CfP for number 65 doesn't mention TC 6 and IFIP at all.
That is why I asked the organisor (Ozan Akan) about that; he was invited to
submit an Event Request Form etc. (even if this request should be done
by the chairpersons of WG 6.2 and 6.8 !).
His answer was as follows:
-----
I am not sure if this is an IFIP TC6 event
as of now.
I will contact to the Organization Committee
of MedHocNet 2006, forward your request and
will get back to you on this shortly.
-----
This seems to be a certain trend. Our established series disappear
or seem to disappear.
Please tell me what we can (or should) do against such a trend.
Best regards
Otto

Workshop Location
The 19th IEEE Computer Security Foundations Workshop will be held in
the facilities of Venice International University, located on the
island of San Servolo, about 10 minutes by water ferry from the Piazza
San Marco. This year's workshop will be held a few days earlier than
ICALP (http://icalp06.dsi.unive.it/), in the same location.
Instructions for Participants
Although submission is open to anyone, attendance is by
invitation. All authors of accepted papers are invited to
attend, and authors are required to ensure that at least one
will be present. This year's meeting location will allow us
to invite more participants than previous years. ICALP
attendees or other scholars who would like to attend CSFW
are encouraged to contact the General Chair, Riccardo
Focardi, about invitations.
Submission Instructions
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers
that have been published or that are simultaneously
submitted to a journal or a conference with published
proceedings. Papers should be submitted in Postscript or
Portable Document Format (PDF). Papers submitted in a
proprietary word processor format such as Microsoft Word
cannot be considered. At least one coauthor of each accepted
paper is required to attend CSFW-19 to present the paper.
Papers may be submitted using the two-column IEEE
Proceedings style available for various document preparation
systems at IEEE-CS Press. Papers in this style should be at
most 12 pages long, not counting bibliography and
well-marked appendices. Alternatively, papers can be in
Springer LLNCS style. In LLNCS style papers must be at most
20 pages long excluding the bibliography and well-marked
appendices.
Committee members are not required to read appendices, and
so the paper must be intelligible without them. Papers not
adhering to the page limits will be rejected without
consideration of their merits.
The paper submission website will be open in January 2006.
Proposals for panels are also welcome. They should be no
more than five pages in length and should include possible
panelists and an indication of which of those panelists have
confirmed a desire to participate. They should be submitted
be email to the program chair by 10 March 2006.
A session of five-minute talks was successful last year, so
we will have one again this year. Abstracts will be
solicited in May.
There are PDF and HTML versions of this call for papers at
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/guttman/csfw19-cfp.html. For further

************************************************************
Ad hoc networks have attracted the attention of the research
community in the last several years. Now that some of the
fundamental issues and challenges of ad hoc networking have
been clearly assessed, the focus is partially shifting to
new issues, which include application scenarios (road
safety, disaster recovery, sensors and actuators, etc.),
autonomous Organization and operation, optimization and
control, service creation and support, middleware. Moreover,
wireless MESH networking is emerging as an "ad hoc spin-off"
aimed at extending and integrating the multi-hop paradigm
with more traditional networking, which poses new and
exciting technical challenges.
Med-Hoc-Net 2006 is the major annual international workshop
aiming to serve as a platform for researchers and
visionaries from academia, research labs, and industry from
all over the world. Sharing ideas, views, results, and
experiences in the field of wireless multi-hop networking is

theoretical and experimental achievements, to innovative ad
hoc systems, prototyping efforts, and case studies is of
interest to the Med-Hoc-Net community.
The papers solicited in Med-Hoc-Net 2006 cover a variety of
topics related to ad hoc and MESH networks, including but
not limited to:
- Novel multi-hop wireless network architectures
- Routing algorithms and protocols
- MAC protocols, scheduling, power control and radio
resource sharing
- Transport layer protocols for multi-hop networks
- Middleware for ad hoc networks
- Application driven architectures and protocols
- Sensor network applications and protocols
- Vehicular networks
- Integration of ad hoc networks with wireless access
networks
- Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes
