And the winner...

.... of the contest for the new TC6 logo was not so easy to determine. 32 delegates have participated (the biggest number ever!) without counting me. Their voting: see annex. 8 for the upper 11 for the middle 11 for the lower 1 for another logo. In view of that, I have made a tie-break competition at my institute which ended up largely in favour of the middle proposal (the green one) and here I would like to follow André´s argument who preferred that one, too since "TC6 is clearly seen there". Thus I put my own voting for the middle one and the case was decided! Please find enclosed the new logo in different versions and formats and please use it for announcement of your events etc. In the near future I'll order some new pins which should be available for Networking 2005 and for later events. Of course I'll do that only if the cost for - say - 1.000 pins will be less than one student travel or one best paper award or something like that. Best wishes and thank you very much for your participation Otto

CfP for DIN 2005: Workshop on Dynamic Interconnection of Networks
by Prehofer, Christian 21 Mar '05

21 Mar '05

Please apologize multiple copies Call for Papers 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 Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: April 30th, 2005 Notification of Acceptance: June 15th, 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 be provided by April 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/> *Sponsorship pending by ACM SIGMOBILE

Dear all I like this one in principle but (on my laptop, at least) the colour rendering is very strange. (It looks rather spotty rather than being uniform.)

Dear potential Speaker: On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to extend a cordial invitation for you to attend one of the upcoming IPSI BgD multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary conferences. The first one will take place in Loreto Aprutino, Italy: IPSI-2005 ITALY Hotel Castello Chiola (arrival: 27 July 05 / departure: 1 August 05) New deadlines: 31 March 05 (abstract) / 30 April 05 (full paper) The second one will take place in Amsterdam, Holland: IPSI-2005 HOLLAND Hotel Okura (arrival: 1 September 05 / departure: 4 September 05) deadlines: 1 April 05 (abstract) / 1 June 05 (full paper) The third one will take place in Sveti Stefan, Montenegro: IPSI-2005 MONTENEGRO Hotel Sveti Stefan (arrival: 1 October 05 / departure: 8 October 05) Deadlines: 1 May 05 (abstract) / 1 July 05 (full paper) All IPSI BgD conferences are non-profit. They bring together the elite of the world science; so far, we have had seven Nobel Laureates speaking at the opening ceremonies. The conferences always take place in some of the most attractive places of the world. All those who come to IPSI conferences once, always love to come back (because of the unique professional quality and the extremely creative atmosphere); lists of past participants are on the web, as well as details of future conferences. These conferences are in line with the newest recommendations of the US National Science Foundation and of the EU research sponsoring agencies, to stress multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary research (M+I+T++ research). The speakers and activities at the conferences truly support this type of scientific interaction. One of the main topics of this conference is "E-education and E-business with Special Emphasis on Semantic Web and Web Datamining" Other topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Internet * Computer Science and Engineering * Mobile Communications/Computing for Science and Business * Management and Business Administration * Education * e-Medicine * e-Oriented Bio Engineering/Science and Molecular Engineering/Science * Environmental Protection * e-Economy * e-Law * Technology Based Art and Art to Inspire Technology Developments * Internet Psychology If you would like more information on either conference, please reply to this e-mail message. If you plan to submit an abstract and paper, please let us know immediately for planning purposes. Note that you can submit your paper also to the IPSI Transactions journal. Sincerely Yours, Prof. V. Milutinovic, Chairman, IPSI BgD Conferences * * * CONTROLLING OUR E-MAILS TO YOU * * * If you would like to continue to be informed about future IPSI BgD conferences, please reply to this e-mail message with a subject line of SUBSCRIBE.

Quick voting desired
by Otto Spaniol 20 Mar '05

20 Mar '05

Dear all, IFIP has a new logo. TC6 should have also a new one based on the official IFIP logo. I asked a designer student to present some proposals. She came with three ideas (see attachment). Please tell me your preference (until the end of this week). I would like to produce pins - like we did for Portugal - such that they would be ready for Networking 2005. Best regards Otto ------------------------------------- Name: I vote for: O the upper one (with the small white intersection between IFIP and TC6) O the middle one (green colour) O the lower one (blue colour) O I don't like any proposal; please present other ideas

Attached is a request for IFIP sponsorship of a European summer school. The request came to WG6.6 although it seems that this event has been sponsored by IFIP in the past.
