11 Apr '05

Dear all, there are many many events for which there are no formal Event Request forms - i.e. events which are not registered in the IFIP Event database. Eduard Dundler <eduard.dundler(a)ifip.or.at> has now scrutinized all TC reports submitted at the last TA and GA, and has identified those 'unknown' events. See annex. TC6 has by far the most (no less than 19 !!) unknown events. Please study this list carefully. If your WG 6.x has any events listed, please contact Eduard and myself URGENTLY to sort out any problems and misunderstandings. No payment can be done for these events (wrt student grants, best paper awards etc.). Best regards Otto

CfP - Special Issue of Annals of Telecommunications
by Guy Leduc 10 Apr '05

10 Apr '05

-------------------- LAST CALL FOR PAPERS -------------------- ANNALS OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS ---------------------------- Special issue on Transport Protocols for the Next Generation Networks http://www710.univ-lyon1.fr/~cpham/ADT-TCP/ADT-TCP.html New networking technologies with optical-based transmission as a foundation for achieving tremendous throughput in the order of tens of Gbit/s are changing the face of the wired Internet with new large scale high-performance infrastructures such as computational grids. In the wireless domain, mobility and ubiquitous access to the Internet is driving the emergence of new value-added applications and exhibiting new user needs. Self-organizing wireless networks such as ad-hoc networks may eventually become the natural way of connecting end-users to the network. In this all-digital, all-connected world, transport protocols have the very difficult task of providing reliable, fair and efficient communications to millions of (groups of) users with very different needs and profiles, across different underlying technologies. High-speed networks, often referred to as long fat networks, raise the problem of fair and efficient congestion control mechanisms. Wireless environments with mobility and ad-hoc features bring new concerns. Fast heterogeneous networks face all these difficulties. This special issue is devoted to these problems. We solicit two categories of contributions: (1) survey papers presenting state-of-the-art studies, and (2) papers presenting an original and unpublished work or experiment on, but not limited to, the following topics: * TCP variants or new transport protocols for high-speed networks * TCP optimisations and tuning methodologies, results from real experiments * New congestion control mechanisms for high-speed networks * Transport protocols for heterogeneous networks * Experiments and prototype implementations and lessons learnt * Multipeer and multicast transport protocols * Transport protocols in wireless/mobile/ad-hoc environments * Transport protocols for (near) real-time traffic * Performance modelling of TCP on high-speed or wireless networks * Fairness issues in new transport protocols * Transport protocols in all-optical networking * Very high-speed transport protocols for computational grids Paper Submission We invite you to submit a paper that should have a length of 25000-35000 characters. The preferred language for the contribution is english. Instructions for formatting your paper according to the journal's rule can be found in english (http://www710.univ-lyon1.fr/~cpham/ADT-TCP/Editorial_instructions.pdf) or in french (http://www710.univ-lyon1.fr/~cpham/ADT-TCP/Consignes_projets_articles.pdf). A PDF version of your paper should be submitted electronically to one of the guest editors (see below). Hard copies should be sent only if electronic submission is absolutely not possible. All submitted papers must not have been previously published and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere while they are under consideration. Please include a cover page which lists the following: * name, * affiliation, * address and e-mail address of each author * name of the contact author * a maximum of 5 keywords Important Dates May 1st, 2005: Full paper due July 15th, 2005: Notification of acceptance September 15th, 2005: Final version due Expected date of publication: spring 2006.

Call for Papers: Fifth International Conference on Integrated Formal Methods (IFM 2005)
by Graeme Smith 08 Apr '05

08 Apr '05

SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS Fifth International Conference on Integrated Formal Methods (IFM) November 29 - December 2, 2005 Eindhoven, The Netherlands http://www.win.tue.nl/ifm/ SCOPE Applying formal methods may involve the modeling of different aspects of a system that are expressed through different paradigms. This motivates us to research the combination of different viewpoints upon a system, either by the creation of hybrid notations, by extending existing notations, by translating between notations, or by incorporating a wider perspective by innovative use of an existing notation. The integration of formal methods has already yielded noteworthy benefits for systems modeling and software development. Whichever approach is taken, significant issues arise in areas such as semantic integration, the tractability of our notations, the integration of tool support, the integration of proof systems, consistency and completeness. Issues arise equally in our conceptualization of systems at different levels of abstraction and the development of these conceptualizations through the process of refinement. The scope of IFM2005 includes all aspects of integration of different formal notations, paradigms and tools, and also the formal strengthening of informal notations (e.g., UML). The conference also seeks and welcomes contributions in related areas such as: hybrid systems, the embedding of one formalism within another, and the integration of formal methods with informal or semi-formal diagrammatic notations and structuring techniques. SUBMISSIONS Submissions should be original work, not published or submitted elsewhere. Submissions may be up to 20 pages in length and are preferably prepared with LaTeX. Springer Verlag will publish the conference proceedings in the series 'Lecture Notes in Computer Science', hence submissions must be prepared according to the LNCS author instructions (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). The first page of the paper should contain an abstract of the paper, a list of keywords, the names, affiliations and emails of the authors. The contact authors should further provide their fax numbers as well as their phone numbers. The format for submitted papers and final versions is PDF or PostScript. For final versions, sources will have to be provided as well (including an RTF file for non-LaTeX papers). A link to the submission web site will be provided on the conference web site (http://www.win.tue.nl/ifm/). IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: May 18, 2005 Notification of acceptance: July 13, 2005 Submission of final copy: August 17, 2005 Conference: November 29 - December 2, 2005 INVITED SPEAKERS Patrice Godefroid - Bell Labs (USA) David Parnas - University of Limerick (Ireland), McMaster University (Canada) Doron Peled - University of Warwick (UK) INVITED TUTORIAL Holger Hermanns - Saarland University (Germany) "QoS Modelling and Analysis for Embedded Systems" PROGRAM COMMITTEE Didier Bert, Institute IMAG, Grenoble, France Eerke Boiten, University of Kent, UK Jonathan Bowen, London South Bank University, UK Michael Butler, University of Southampton, UK Paul Curzon, Queen Mary, University of London, UK Jim Davies, University of Oxford, UK John Derrick, University of Sheffield, UK Steve Dunne, University of Teesside, UK Jin Song Dong, National University of Singapore Andy Galloway, University of York, UK Chris George, United Nations University, Macau Wolfgang Grieskamp, Microsoft Research, Redmond, US Henri Habrias, University of Nantes, France Maritta Heisel, University of Magdeburg, Germany Soon-Kyeong Kim, University of Queensland, Australia Michel Lemoine, ONERA, Toulouse, France Shaoying Liu, Hosei University, Tokyo, Japan Dominique Mery, LORIA, France Stephan Merz, LORIA, France Richard Paige, University of York, UK Luigia Petre, Turku Centre for Computer Science, Finland Thomas Santen, Technical University of Berlin, Germany Steve Schneider, University of Surrey, UK Wolfram Schulte, Microsoft Research, Redmond, US Kaisa Sere, Abo Akademi University, Turku, Finland Jane Sinclair, University of Warwick, UK Bill Stoddart, University of Teesside, UK Kenji Taguchi, University of Bradford, UK Helen Treharne, University of Surrey, UK Heike Wehrheim, University of Paderborn, Germany Kirsten Winter, University of Queensland, Australia Jim Woodcock, University of York, UK PROGRAM COMMITTEE CO-CHAIRS Jaco van de Pol, CWI, The Netherlands Judi Romijn, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands Graeme Smith, University of Queensland, Australia
