ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
In recent years, distributed applications have indeed gained a practical
and widely-known footing in everyday computing. Use of new communication
technologies have brought up divergent application areas, including mobile
computing, inter-enterprise collaborations, and ubiquitous services, just
to name a few. New challenges include the need for service-oriented archi-
tectures, autonomous and self-managing systems, peer-to-peer systems, grid
computing, sensor networks, semantic enhancements, and adaptivity and dyna-
micity of distribution constellations.
The DAIS conference series addresses all aspects of distributed applications,
including their design, implementation and operation, the supporting
middleware,
appropriate software engineering methodologies and tools, as well as experi-
mental studies and practice reports. This time we welcome in particular contri-
butions on architectures, models, technologies and platforms for interoperable,
scalable and adaptable systems that are related to the latest trends towards
service orientation and self-* properties.
DAIS'06 is the sixth event in a series of successful international conferences
which started in 1997. It will provide a forum for researchers, application
and platform service vendors and users, to review, discuss and learn about
new approaches, trends, concepts and experiences in the fields of distributed
computing. Due to the success of the predecessor conferences and the
emergence of many interesting and relevant new topics, DAIS has
recently switched to a one-year-rhythm.
CONFERENCE THEMES

VENUE & EVENT
DAIS'06 will be held in the beautiful city of Bologna, Italy, colocated
with the 8th IFIP Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems
(FMOODS'06) and Coordination'06. Attendants of DAIS'06 will have the
opportunity to attend the sessions of the two colocated conferences.
Bologna, a historical capital of culture, was founded by the Etruscans
in the VI century B.C. Bologna sits in the southern part of the
historically and gastronomically famous Po River plain, a natural
crossroads in northern Italy. Bologna's location was important not only
for the trading of goods but also for the exchanging of ideas and the
disseminating of culture. The Università di Bologna, founded in 1088 is
the oldest university in the western world.
Bologna is famous for its porticoes. Dating back to the 12th century the
porticoes were used to enlarge houses to support the growing University
community. Today 350,000 people call Bologna their home, of which 100,000
are students. Bologna, Italy's culinary capital, is also famous for its
food. Furthermore, Bologna is surrounded by the famous food/wine regions
of Parma, Modena, and Tuscany.
Bologna is very accessible, being served by an international airport and
one of the main hubs of the Italian railway system. Within easy access
is Florence (1 hour), Milan (1.5 hours), Venice (1.5 hours), Rome (2.4
hours) and the ubiquitous Italian countryside of Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
SUMMER SCHOOL IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS
OTTAWA, CANADA, AUGUST 14-16, 2006
http://kunz-pc.sce.carleton.ca/AdHocNow2006/sensors.html
Sponsored by Mathematics of Information Technology and Complex Systems
(MITACS: http://www.mitacs.math.ca/)
Processors, sensors, and wireless radios are becoming extremely small
and inexpensive. We therefore foresee a world where many everyday objects
and physical environments are enriched by computational power. Wireless
sensor networks are a relatively recent and exciting example of networked
embedded sensing systems and significant research projects in this area
are under way throughout the world. The area provides a rich field of
research challenges and possibilities for technology transfer (for
example, RFID sensors and supply chain management, smart homes/cities,
health care, etc.).
Goals and Audience
==================
The intended audience are post-graduate students from primarily Canadian
universities at both the Master's and PhD level, and young researchers
from universities and industrial laboratories around the world. If there
is room, senior undergraduate students who have a strong research interest
in sensor networks will also be considered. The number of participants
will be limited to approximately 50.
The goal of the summer school is to provide a basic survey of the most
relevant subfields, to present the perspectives and the underlying
technologies, as well as to identify important research themes.
Furthermore, the school will provide the opportunity to get to know other
people working in the field, to meet other graduate students and to
interact with distinguished scholars. We hope that it will lead to the
establishment of contacts that may result in future research
collaborations as well.
Schedule/Topics (tentative)
===========================
The summer school will last for 3 days and will feature a number
of different activities.
* Lectures
* TinyOS and ZigBee tutorial
* Participants workshop. Some time will be reserved for a workshop
where participants can present their own work and involvement in
the field.
* Social event(s) to encourage the development of a community among
the researchers.
* AdHoc NOW conference. The summer school will be held just before
AdHoc NOW (http://kunz-pc.sce.carleton.ca/AdHocNow2006/). This
will allow participants to register for and participate in the
conference.
Registration, Costs, and Travelling
===================================
Participation is open to all qualified applicants, but the number of
participants is limited to a maximum of 50 (with 40 spots reserved for
graduate students). If we receive more applications, we will select
participants based on their work area and background, geographic
distribution, and date of registration. If you are interested in
participating, please send an e-mail with the pertinent information
(name, contact information, research area and background) to
tkunz(a)sce.carleton.ca. If you want to give a brief talk about your
own work, please also include a short title and abstract. Graduate
students should also provide their student ID and e-mail address of their
faculty advisor/supervisor, to allow us to verify their student status.
The nominal registration fee will be C$400, with the registration fee for
the graduate student participants covered through support from MITACS.
Participants are responsible to arrange for their own travel and
accomodation. For example, residence space at the University of Ottawa
is available for approximately C$35/day for a single room or C$50/day for
a shared room.
Participants are expected to arrive in the afternoon or evening of
Sunday, August 13. The school itself will begin on Monday
(Aug. 14) morning and end on Wednesday (Aug. 16) evening.

Contact Information
===================
Thomas Kunz

tkunz@.sce.carleton.ca
I have received a request, for IFIP tecnhical co-sponsorship of the ICN'06
conference from the organizer (Prof. Alain Sentini). The conference is
already technically sponsored by IEEE. The conference will take place in
Mauricius. More information can be found at:
<http://www.iaria.org/conferences/ICN06.html>
http://www.iaria.org/conferences/ICN06.html
Mauricius information society is already member of IFIP, but we don't have a
representative at TC6. Prof Nawaz Mohamudally at the Technical University of
Mauritius has interest in Networks and might be interested in becoming TC6
national delegate.
Let me know, if you want me to pursue further the above two possibilities,
i.e., what WGs are interested in endorsing ICN 2006 and if we want to invite
Prof. Nawaz to become a TC6 delegate.

Salut Rauf,
J'arrive de la Réunion où Pascal Annelli me demande au nom de Pascal Lorenz,
de l'aider à associer les institutions mauriciennes concernées à ICN06 qui
aura lieu à Maurice < http://www.iaria.org/conferences/ICN06.html >.
Au titre de secrétaire de ICTKMA qui représente Maurice à l'IFIP, je lui ai
proposé d'en faire un "IFIP event".
Pour cela il doit falloir d'abord le blessing du TC6, puisque cela relève de
vos compétences bien plus que des miennes.
Il s'agit d'une conf IEEE, il suffirait donc que vous soyez d'accord pour
qu'on y rajoute le logo IFIP.
Faire ça à travers ICTKMA permettra d'associer d'un seul coup l'université,
l'univ de technologie etc. On pourrait même en profiter pour demander à
Nawaz Mohamudally de représenter Maurice au TC6. Il travaille à l'Université
de Technologie et je crois qu'il s'intéresse aux réseaux. je ne sais pas au
juste quelle est la procédure, mais tu peux sans doute l'aider.

computing and autonommic communication communities to exchange ideas,
discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers,
professionals, and application developers both from industry and
academia. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical
aspects of autonomic communications and computing are solicited. Papers
describing prototype implementations and deployment are particularly
welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Architecture and models for autonomic communication and computing
systems
- Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building
autonomic systems and networks
- Adaptive security for self protection of systems and networks
- Economic, biological and social models used for autonomic
communications
- Novel management techniques for autonomic communication and
computing systems
- Sensing, monitoring and measurements for self-managing systems and
networks

==========================================================================
The third annual IEEE SECON conference will provide a unique forum to
exchange ideas, techniques, and applications, discuss best practices,
raise awareness, and share experiences among researchers,
practitioners, standard developers and policy makers in the field of
sensor, ad hoc, and mesh networks and systems. IEEE SECON grew out of
IEEE INFOCOM (http://www.ieee-infocom.org) in 2004, in order to create
an event that focused on the important and exciting topics of Sensor,
Mesh and Ad Hoc Communications and Networks.
The conference will be organized to provide for collegiality and
continuity in the discussions of the various topics among participants
from the industrial, governmental and academic sectors.
Original technical papers that address the communications, networking,
applications, systems and algorithmic aspects of mesh and sensor
networks, as well as those that describe practical deployment and
implementation experiences are solicited for presentation at the
conference and publication in the conference proceedings. Papers
presenting novel contributions in such disciplines as communications,
networking protocols and architectures, algorithms, embedded systems,
middleware and information management, and novel applications are
solicited.
PAPERS:
Full papers - describing original, previously unpublished research
work, experimental efforts, practical experiences, and industrial and
commercial developments in sensor, ad hoc, and mesh communications and
networks - are solicited. Papers with a deep focus on a specific
discipline or stimulated by the synergistic interaction of diverse
disciplines are encouraged. Papers describing practical application
of technology to real-world problems are similarly encouraged. Papers
submitted should not be concurrently under review at another
conference, journal or similar venue.
Particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* New architectures and protocols to support communication,
localization, time synchronization, routing, data dissemination, and
other distributed services in heterogeneous, large-scale distributed,
mesh networks and sensor networks
* Novel algorithms and theories for management, supervisory control,
and monitoring of distributed ad hoc networks, and techniques for the
interpretation and use of sensor data in decision-making processes
* Modeling and performance evaluation of large-scale distributed ad
hoc and sensor networks, practical implementations and deployments,
and real-world experiences
* Theories and models on fundamental information and communication
aspects of wireless mesh and sensor networks
* Mechanisms for authenticated, secure communication and data
dissemination in sensor and mesh networks
* Algorithms and protocols to support quality of service in mesh and
sensor networks, including admission control, resource allocation and
fairness, and capacity planning
* Integration of sensors into engineered systems, including novel
techniques for on-sensor renewable power sources, mechanisms for
on-sensor self-calibration and self-testing, and efficient schemes to
maximize accuracy and minimize false alarms
* Hardware platforms incorporating multiple sensors, computation,
actuation, and wireless interfaces
* Software platforms, middleware, and tools for mesh and sensor
network applications development, deployment, and management
TUTORIALS AND PANELS:
Proposals for tutorials and panels on current topics in the field of
ad hoc and sensor networking and applications are solicited. Panels
related to the commercial application and development of sensors and
mesh networks are especially encouraged.
DEMOS AND EXPO:
Demonstrations that showcase practical implementations, industrial and
commercial developments, and new applications for mesh and sensor
networks are solicited.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:
All paper submissions will be handled electronically through the EDAS
system. Details regarding the paper format and the submission process
will be announced shortly at
http://www.ieee-secon.org/2006/index.html.
Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and
will appear on IEEE Xplore. IEEE Communications Society policy states
that all accepted SECON 2006 papers must have at least one
registration at the regular rate. For authors co-authoring multiple
papers, one regular registration is valid for up to three papers.
