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.

Dear Colleague,
We would like to encourage you to submit research papers to SIGCOMM
2006--the premier conference on networking and computer
communications--which will be held in Pisa, Italy on September
11th-15th. The CFP is attached below.
Our intent is for SIGCOMM 2006 to be very broad, inclusive of work
across the entire spectrum of networking research, including wireless,
network security, sensor networks, overlay, and peer-to-peer systems,
in addition to more traditional SIGCOMM topics. To help encourage that
breadth, we intend to accept approximately 50% more papers than in
previous years. With your help, we believe this will lead to three
very full, but also very interesting, days at the conference.
Further, we note that throughout the network research community, there
is renewed interest in network architecture, and what the future
Internet might be in 15-20 years. Fundamental "clean slate" approaches
and radical new ideas are definitely encouraged.
We look forward to reading your submissions and to seeing you in Pisa
in September.
Regards,
Tom Anderson & Nick McKeown
PC Chairs, SIGCOMM 2006

CALL FOR PAPERS
ACM SIGCOMM 2006 Conference
Pisa, Italy
September 11th-15th, 2006
IMPORTANT DATES
Workshop/Tutorial Proposals: November 15th, 2005
Paper registration/abstract: February 3rd, 2006
(required, hard deadline)
Paper submission: February 10th, 2006
(hard deadline)
Paper notification: May 1st, 2006
Camera-ready papers: June 21st, 2006
Please note that notifications to authors will occur in "rolling"
fashion; that is, authors may receive decisions anytime between the
submission deadline and notification date.
The SIGCOMM 2006 conference seeks papers describing significant
research contributions to the field of computer and data communication
networks. We invite submissions on network architecture, design,
implementation, operations, analysis, measurement, and simulation.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Analysis and design of network architectures and algorithms
* Experimental and measurement results from operational networks
* Fundamental insights into network and traffic characteristics
* Network fault-tolerance and reliability, debugging, and troubleshooting
* Network management and traffic engineering
* Network security, vulnerability, and defenses
* Network, transport, and application-layer protocols
* Networking issues for Web, multimedia, and gaming applications
* Operating system and other host support for networking
* Peer-to-peer, overlay, and content distribution networks
* Resource management, quality of service, and signaling
* Routing, switching, and addressing
* Tools and techniques for network measurement and simulation
* Wireless, mobile, ad-hoc, and sensor networks
SIGCOMM 2006 solicits full papers up to 12 pages in length, in
two-column ACM conference format. SIGCOMM is a selective conference
where full papers typically report novel results firmly substantiated
by experimentation, simulation, or analysis.
We intend to publish public reviews of each accepted paper, to be
written by the program committee. We also plan to host an open web
discussion board for accepted papers prior to the conference.
As in previous years, SIGCOMM 2006 will have tutorials, workshops, a
poster session, a student travel grant program, and a Student Paper
Award. Details will be posted as they become available on the
conference web site:
http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2006/
The conference will begin with a keynote by the 2006 winner of the ACM
SIGCOMM Award for lifetime contributions to the field of computer
communication. Procedures for nominating candidates for the SIGCOMM
Award can be obtained from Jennifer Rexford, jrex at cs.princeton.edu.
