CALL FOR PAPERS
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 in cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM
-----
SCOPE
-----
CoNEXT aims to become a major forum in the area
of future networking technologies. By bringing
together - under the umbrella of the Network of
Excellence E-NEXT (http://www.ist-e-next.net/) -
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.
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.
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Submitted papers must be original, unpublished,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.

Networking 2005 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
======================================
Networking 2005 serves as a forum for engineers and scientists from
around the world to present their latest research findings in the fields
of computer networks and data communications. Networking 2005 includes
a peer-reviewed program of technical sessions, panels, tutorials, and
workshops. The five-day program starts with cutting-edge tutorials on a
range of hot topics, including sensor and ad hoc networks,
delay-tolerant networks, optical networking, and quality of service.
Throughout the week there will be keynote talks by research and industry
leaders, including Peter Carbone, Vice President of Next-Generation
Architectures, Networks and Technology at Nortel Networks. Panels will
cover issues of immediate relevance to both industry and research alike,
including cross-layer design issues. The week will be rounded out with
a series of workshops on critical issues on networking today, including
problems of rapid configuration, modeling, and middleware.

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.
Apologies for the multiple copies of CFP
Dear All,
Please find attached the Call for papers for the 2nd International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS) 2005 (http://www.iswcs.org/iswcs2005) to be held in Siena, Italy, from 5 - 7 September 2005. The symposium is technically sponsored by IEEE Communication Society and is endorsed by the technical committee on Personal Communications. Proceedings of the conference will be available on the IEEEXplore after the event.
Important date:
1 May 2005 (extended abstract) via EDAS due.
We look forward to receiving your papers.
Many thanks
Best regards,
Boon
General co-chair
Dear all,
many thanks for the congratulations for my 60th birthday.
Time passes by so quickly.
Kiril was not fully correct since my birthday was already on April 11;
today is the official ceremony at the university.
And I will proudly attach to this document one of
my usually very bizarre "poems" which took a lot of
effort to produce it - and it will be my final part of the ceremony.
Let's hope that it will end well.
Warning: The "poem" is not really suitable for younger people
but the nature of the poem has dictated this version.
It could have even been less suitable for the
innocent young people but that was really too strange.
I'm nevertheless ready to discuss about such extensions
after several beers in Toronto.
Best wishes and thank you very much
Otto
