WATERLOO
========
The Fourth IFIP Conference on Networking will be held at the University
of Waterloo, in Waterloo, Ontario. About 60 miles south-west of
Toronto, Waterloo is situated near the Grand River, in the heart of
South-West Ontario.
Waterloo has a large concentration of world-leading high-technology
companies, including Research in Motion, maker of the blackberry, Sybase
iAnywhere, Open Text, as well as two universities.
While visiting Waterloo, you may wish to take the opportunity to go
canoing on the Grand river (http://www.canoeingthegrand.com/). Waterloo
is a short drive from the internationally renown Stratford Festival
(http://www.stratford-festival.on.ca/), and less than 2 hours drive from
Niagara Falls (http://www.city.niagarafalls.on.ca/).
Pearson International Airport, less than an hour away, provides easy
access for our worldwide participants.
Dear friends,
Attached you will find the call for papers of LANC05 in different

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE ICPS Workshop on
Multi-hop Ad hoc Networks: from theory to reality
REALMAN 2005
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/realman
jointly organized by:
MobileMAN EC IST Project
University of Cambridge, UK
CNR-Institue for Informatics and Telematics, I
in conjunction with
ICPS 2005
http://icps2005.cs.ucr.edu/
July 14, 2005
Santorini, Greece
After almost a decade of research into ad hoc networking,
off-the-shelf MANET technology has not yet affected our way
of using wireless networks. To consolidate the field,
it is now the time to constructing and experiencing with realistic
and complete MANET solutions. Prototypes and measurements
on real test-beds provide insights in the ad hoc technology behavior
and fundamental information for a realistic tuning of simulation models
(mobility models, link-level models, etc.).
This workshop constitutes a unique forum for presenting and discussing
experiences based on real ad hoc networks test-beds and prototypes.
Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols
development and testing, in all areas related to ad hoc networking.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Ad hoc networks applications
* System prototypes and experiences
* Software technologies and systems
* Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
* Sensor Networks
* Vehicular Networks
* Mesh Networks
* Routing and Transport protocols
* Security and cooperation protocols
* Middleware platforms for ad hoc networks
* Ad Hoc Networking for ambient intelligence and pervasive environments
* Location services
* Positioning and Tracking Technologies
* Measurement studies
* Mobility Models
* Enabling Technologies Models (802.11, 802.15, etc.)
DEMO SESSION
A demo session will be held during the workshop, showing real MANET
prototypes at work. Demo proposals are highly welcome, and will be evaluated
ty the Program Commitee. Please submit your proposal to the program chair
(realman(a)iit.cnr.it).
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Please submit your short paper via e-mail (PDF format is mandatory)
to the program chair (realman(a)iit.cnr.it).
We encourage the authors to format their papers according to the
IEEE double-column standard format, except the font size, which
must be Times Roman 11pt (or greater). Paper length must not exceed
8 pages, including figures, appendixes, bibliography, etc.
Format templates and detailed instructions can be found at

We invite poster, and demonstration submissions on mobile ad hoc
networks, wireless sensor networks, and ad hoc computing systems, with
the focus being on issues at and above the MAC layer. Areas of
interest include, but are not limited to
. Applications, operating system, and middleware support
. Analysis and design of transport, network and MAC protocols
. Energy-efficient algorithms
. Location discovery and management techniques
. Network scaling and limits
. Measurements and practical experience from
experimental systems and testbeds
. Cross layer design
. Network resilience, fault-tolerance, and reliability
. Security and defense issues
. In-network processing, aggregation, and data dissemination
. Distributed actuation, control, and coordination
. Modeling, performance evaluation and QoS issues
POSTERS: Posters presenting early work and preliminary results are
solicited. The poster session will provide an excellent opportunity
for initial feedback on early research results. Posters may not preclude
concurrent submissions on the same topic in regular conferences and
journals. Poster descriptions of
no more than 3 pages (US letter size 8.5x11 inches) using font size 10
hould be submitted to the Poster Co-Chairs before April 8, 2005.
Please include the words "Poster Abstract:" to precede the title on
the cover page.
A selected subset of the poster abstracts will be published in ACM
Mobile Computing and Communications Review.
DEMOS: Technical demonstration of experimental ad hoc networking and
computing systems are solicited. One-page demo descriptions, including
list of any required supporting equipment, should be sent to the
Demo Chair before April 15, 2005.

Call for Papers
4th International Workshop on
PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED METHODS IN VERIFICATION
(PDMC 2005)
July 10, 2005 - Lisboa, Portugal
Workshop affiliated to ICALP'05
http://pdmc.informatik.tu-muenchen.de
=============================================================================
OBJECTIVES: The growing importance of automated formal verification in
industry is driving a growing interest in those aspects which have a
direct impact on its applicability to real world problems. One of the
main technical challenges is in devising tools that allow to handle
large state spaces. Over the last years numerous approaches have been
developed. Recently, an increasing interest is in parallelizing and
distributing of verification techniques.
The aim of the PDMC workshop series is to cover all aspects of
parallel and distributed methods and techniques for formal
verification. Theoretical results, algorithms and case studies are
equally welcome. Contributions from the domains of model checking,
theorem proving, and equivalence checking are anticipated.
The PDMC workshop aims to provide a working forum for presenting,
sharing, and discussing recent achievements in the field of parallel
and distributed verification. The workshop will consist of invited
talks and a selection from submitted papers.
SCOPE AND TOPICS: Papers describing recent work on all aspects of
parallel and distributed verification are solicited as contributions
to PDMC. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* parallel and distributed model checking
* parallel and distributed equivalence checking
* parallel and distributed satisfiability checking
* slicing and distributing the state space
* distributed theorem proving
* distributed constraints solving
* parallel methods in probabilistic model checking
* file systems for distributed transitions systems
* parallel methods in performance evaluation
* tools and case studies
* industrial applications
INVITED SPEAKER:
* Kim G. Larsen (Aalborg University, Denmark)
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: There are two categories of submissions:
regular papers and presentations.
* Manuscripts of regular papers are limited to a maximum of 10
pages (excluding bibliography and technical appendices) in
postscript or PDF format (ENTCS style strongly recommended).
* Presentations report on relevant results submitted to other
forums or already published or on not yet finished work in
progress. Presentations will appear in the workshop preliminary
proceedings, but will not be considered for the final workshop
proceedings. The space limit for presentations is 10 pages
(excluding bibliography and technical appendices) in postscript
or PDF format (ENTCS style strongly recommended).
Submissions should be made electronically using PDMC'05 Submission Page.
PROCEEDINGS: The preliminary workshop proceedings will be available at
the meeting. The final proceedings appear as a volume of Electronic
Notes in Theoretical Computer Science. After the workshop, selected
authors will be invited to submit full versions of their papers
(regular papers or presentation results not submitted for journal
publication) to a special section of a journal (under negotiation).

Dear all,
please find attached the new TC6 logo in PDF format.
I've ordered new pins with that logo.
They should be available for Networking 2005 and for subsequent events.
At the occasion of meeting 2005/1 I shall ask for approval of this
action; I had to do it very spontaneously in order to h.ve the
pins ready for Networking 2005.
The attendance statistics for meeting 2005/1 has been improved very much
(see enclosure). Already 18 attendants with some more expected.
Best regards
Otto
