Call for Papers
The 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Broadband Convergence Networks
(BcN 2007)
http://www.bcn2007.org/
May 21, 2007, Munich, Germany (In conjunction with IEEE/IFIP IM2007)
Scope:
In Broadband Convergence Networks (BcN), also known as Next Generation
Networks (NGN), various types of convergence will take place such as
convergence of wired and wireless networks, and convergence of
telecommunications and broadcasting. For broadband end-to-end mobile
networking, the broadband wired networks (such as IP/MPLS with DWDM
optical networks) will be converged with wireless networks (such as IEEE
802.11e Wireless LAN, 802.16 Wireless MAN (WiBro, WiMax) and 3G/4G
wireless cellular networks). Also, the IP-based telecommunication network
will be converged with broadcast network to provide IP-based high-quality
broadband multimedia broadcasting and multicasting. Several countries of
strong Internet infrastructure are going to provide initial BcN commercial
services soon.
For efficient service provisioning on the broadband converged networks,
well-designed and implemented network operations and management functions
with traffic engineering are essential. ITU-T had been operating a special
expert group called FGNGN (Focus Group on Next Generation Networks) to
provide the architecture of NGN, and currently working on the network
operations and management issues actively in Study Groups SG-13 and SG-11.
IETF has some working groups on network operations and managements of
IP/MPLS networks, but the operations and management for integrated
networking with wired & wireless, telecommunication and broadcasting
networks has not been actively covered yet.
Following the successful ¡°1 st IEEE International Workshop on Broadband
Convergence Networks (BcN2006)¡± (April 7, 2006, Vancouver, Canada, in
conjunction with IEEE/IFIP NOMS2006), the goal of this workshop is to
gather people with different backgrounds to share the current status of
standardization and technology development of BcN, to discuss challenges
and possible solutions in the broadband networking for QoS-guaranteed
real-time multimedia services on BcN. Areas of interest include the
architectures, applications, and management issues of BcN.
Topics of interest for this workshop include, but not limited to, the
following:
- Architecture and Standardization
- Applications and Service Provisioning
- QoS Management
- Traffic Engineering
- Inter-domain Networking
- QoS-guaranteed multimedia service provisioning across broadband wired &
wireless networks
- Converged networking issues for telecommunication and broadcasting
- Broadband Access networking with hybrid fiber optic and wireless network
- Security issues on the convergence networks
- Accounting and Billing
- Seamless service provisioning with roaming and handover
- Regulatory Issues
- Automated resource management and service provisioning
- Signaling for Application Sessions and Networking
- Virtual Networks and Operators
Paper Submission :
Authors are requested to submit a paper up to 12 pages (single-spaced
single-column pages, LNCS series format). The contribution must be
original and unpublished. Papers must be submitted online in a PDF format
via the ¡°Paper Submission¡± link that can be found on the BcN 2007
webpage. Paper format must follow the LNCS style available from

SCOPE
-----------------------------------------------------------
Telecommunication infrastructures play a vital role in
modern society. Advances in the range of network service
offerings, performance, quality of service, security,
and ubiquity continue to flourish, despite global economy
fluctuations. Access to experimental infrastructures for
real-life applications by specific user communities
benefits all of the stakeholders involved: the end users,
because of the first-hand evaluation of the provided
services, the researchers and infrastructure experimenters,
because of the knowledge gained from hands-on study and
analysis, and the service providers, because of the
business exploitation of the network.
The goal of TridentCom is to create a forum where
telecommunication networks researchers, vendors, providers
and users can exchange ideas on past experience,
requirements, needs, and visions for future establishment
of such infrastructures. It showcases experimental
activities, such as testing, verification, integration,
measurement, and deployment, which are pivotal to achieving
next generation communications.

How does this relate to your Autonomic Networking conference?
Calling it the "First International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communication Systems" might be shading the truth.

***** AUTONOMICS *****
First International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communication Systems
http://www.autonomics-conference.eu/
28-30 October 2007, Rome (Italy)
In recent years, a plethora of electronic devices embedded into everyday objects and able to interface with the
surrounding environment have emerged, foreshadowing the deployment of pervasive context-aware services.
Similar to the Internet, these trends will revolutionize existing paradigms of communication, networking, and
computing. In particular, the complexity hidden in such dynamic large-scale networks and services calls for
self-management and autonomicity as a necessary condition for obtaining purposeful systems.
The challenges posed by such a vision cover a wide range of disciplines and sciences, including computing,
communication, distributed systems, and control systems. Further, these challenges call for a new, integrated
and multidisciplinary approach to pervasive computing and communication environments, giving rise to a new
converged science, able to work at the junction of systems, computing and communication sciences. The
AUTONOMICS conference provides an international forum driving the emergent science of autonomic
systems, bringing together research communities in communication and computing, promoting cross-fertilization
among the different disciplines involved.
Scope: The primary research challenges faced are the communication, design, programming, deployment,
use, and fundamental limits of autonomic, pervasive, context-aware systems running on top of dynamic,
possibly large-scale, distributed systems. Authors are invited to submit papers to Autonomics'07 reporting on
original research related to the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of autonomic
systems. The conference intends to attract attendees with diverse backgrounds. We solicit papers in
autonomic, pervasive, and context-aware systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Theoretical foundations of autonomic systems
- Models and metrics
- Energy-efficient algorithms
- Programming paradigms
- Middleware for pervasive systems
- Software architectures and toolkits
- Positioning and tracking technologies
- Architectures & algorithms for self-* systems
- Privacy, security, dynamic trust and social issues
- Location- and context-awareness
- Tools, languages and platforms
- Applications and systems
- Resource, network and service (self) management
- Enabling technologies for pervasive environments
Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness.
