DIN 2005 Deadline Extension!
by Kappler Cornelia 02 May '05

02 May '05

Please apologize multiple copies. The deadline for ACM DIN 2005 has been extended until May 22nd! Further details see below. -------------------------- ACM DIN 2005 First International ACM* Workshop on Dynamic Interconnection of Networks http://www.docomoeurolabs.de/mobicom-2005-din-ws.html <http://www.docomoeurolabs.de/mobicom-2005-din-ws.html> , In Conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2005 September 2, 2005 Cologne, Germany Scope: A salient feature of future mobile networks will be support for flexible, dynamic inter-connection of networks. New kinds of mobile networks, such as Personal Area Networks (PANs), Body Area Networks (BANs), inter-vehicle networks, and sensor networks, arise and have to interconnect among themselves and with existing infrastructure. Such networks will integrate heterogeneous technologies, and their topologies are dynamic. Currently, inter-working in IP networks consists essentially of inter-domain routing. In the future, the control plane interconnection of these networks needs to enable e.g. seamless mobility, routing, QoS, multi-homed networks, charging, and security. For instance, mobility handling is different for a mobile phone, a train network or a BAN. Hence it needs to be negotiated which specific protocols to use and in which way. The owners of future mobile networks often are non-experts and hence auto-configuration is a major issue. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers working on interconnection of mobile networks and related topics to exchange their ideas. Topics of Interest: Original papers are invited in the area of dynamic interconnection of networks. Papers must represent high-quality and previously unpublished work. Topics of interest include: - Internetworking architectural principles - End-to-end control interconnection regarding e.g. Mobility management, routing, QoS provisioning, security, charging - Naming & addressing for inter-networking - Moving networks, ad-hoc networking and interconnection technology - Autoconfiguring networks - Self-organized internetworking Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library* Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: May 22th , 2005 Notification of Acceptance: June 30th , 2005 Camera-Ready Papers: July 15th, 2005 Workshop Co-Chairs: Christian Prehofer (DoCoMo Euro-Labs) lastname at docomolab-euro.com Cornelia Kappler (Siemens, Germany) firstname.lastname at siemens.com Technical PC Members: Bengt Algren (SICS, Sweden) Jon Crowcroft (Cambridge, UK) A. Feldmann (TU München, Germany) James Kempf (DoCoMo US Labs) Holger Karl (U. Paderborn, Germany) Pekka Nikander (Ericsson, Finland) Jürgen Quittek (NEC Europe) Joe Touch (USC/ISI USA) Submission Guidelines: 5 pages in pdf format with font size not smaller than 10 points, and must fit properly on A4 paper with reasonable margins. A link for paper submission will soon be provided on the Workshop Webpage http://www.docomoeurolabs.de/mobicom-2005-din-ws.html <http://www.docomoeurolabs.de/mobicom-2005-din-ws.html> , which is also accessible from the MobiCom 2005 webpage http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2005/ <http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2005/> *Final approval pending by ACM SIGMOBILE

[Please apologize for multiple receipts] CALL FOR PAPERS - LAST CALL CONEXT'05 International conference on future networking technologies October 24-27, 2005 Toulouse, France http://www.co-next.net/ info(a)co-next.net Organized by IST E-NEXT (http://www.ist-e-next.net) in cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM ----- SCOPE ----- CoNEXT aims at becoming a major forum in the area of future networking technologies. CoNEXT is designed as an open, multi-track conference aiming to attract longer-term studies and to contribute to the integration of networking research at the international level. By bringing together a number of successful workshops run by various networking communities, it will encourage much needed synergies between these communities. CoNEXT is a joint conference series having its roots in QoFIS, NGC and MIPS. QoFIS and NGC are highly successful international workshops initiated by two European COST Actions, namely COST263 on Quality of Future Internet Services and COST264 on Networked Group Communications. MIPS resulted from the merging of two other major workshops, namely IDMS (concentrated on interactive and distributed multimedia services) and PROMS (focusing on protocols for networked multimedia systems); also the associated ICQT (Internet Charging and QoS Technology) workshop is integrated into CoNEXT 2005. Examples of relevant topics are: * Autonomic Communications * Context Awareness * Crosslayer Integration * Dependable Networks * Experimental Networking * Identity Management * Internet Economics * Large Test-bed * Mobile Communication * Monitoring * Network Security * Overlay Networks * Scalability * Sensor Networks * Service Engineering * Traffic Engineering * User Perceived QoS * Wireless ----------------------- SUBMISSIONS/PROCEEDINGS ----------------------- Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted to another conference or journal for consideration of publication. Papers must be submitted in electronic format following the instructions provided on the CoNEXT web site. The workshop proceedings will be published by ACM. IEEE/ACM ToN will consider fast tracking the very best papers accepted for publication at CoNEXT. --------------- IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Submission: May 6th, 2005 Notification: July 1st, 2005 Final version: August 19th, 2005 ----------------- CONFERENCE CHAIRS ----------------- Michel Diaz, LAAS-CNRS, France Arturo Azcorra, University Carlos III de Madrid, Spain Patrick Snac, ENSICA, France, (Organization chair) -------------- PROGRAM CHAIRS -------------- Philippe Owezarski, LAAS-CNRS, France Serge Fdida, University P&M Curie (Paris 6), France ------------------ STEERING COMMITTEE ------------------ Arturo Azcorra, University Carlos III de Madrid, Spain Fernando Boavida, University of Coimbra, Portugal Michel Diaz, LAAS-CNRS, France Christophe Diot, Intel research Cambridge, UK Serge Fdida, University P&M Curie-Paris, France Laurent Mathy, Lancaster University, UK Jennifer Rexford, AT&T Labs, USA Mikhail Smirnov, Fraunhofer FOKUS, Germany Ioannis Stavrakakis, University of Athens, Greece Burkhard Stiller, University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, Switzerland Giorgio Ventre, University of Napoli, Italy ----------------- PROGRAM COMMITTEE ----------------- Marco Ajmone Marsan, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Kevin Almeroth, UC Santa Barbara, USA Paul Amer, University of Delaware, USA Mostafa Ammar, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA Ernst Biersack, Institut Eurecom, France Olivier Bonaventure, Univ.
