21 Apr '05

[Please apologize for multiple receipts] 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* Wireless ----------------------- SUBMISSIONS/PROCEEDINGS ----------------------- Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted to another conference or journal for consideration of publication.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. --------------- 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.

Thanks!

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
