The book deals with connection-oriented networking architectures.
Topics
include: SONET/SDH. GFP, ATM, MPLS, GMPLS, Wavelength Routing Optical
Networks, Optical Burst Switching, Access Networks, and Voice over
Packet.
It is an ideal textbook for a second course on networking and a good
reference

********** APOLOGIZE FOR MULTIPLE POSTING **************
********************************************************
The new interdisciplinary centre of excellence
Microsoft Research - University of Trento Centre for Computational and Systems Biology
has been established in the Trento region (Italy). The main objectives and activities of the centre are:
Overall objectives
1. To advance the state of knowledge of biological information processing, the aetiology of disease, and potentially new therapies through the creation of a new research centre that will bring together scientists from multiple disciplines to focus on conducting leading research into advanced computational modeling of biological systems.
2. To conduct novel research into defining new computational and communication paradigms that are 'biomimetic' in nature, i.e., based on new principles learned from the research into biological information processing.
3. To exploit the research. This is expected to take the form of the development of new computational tools for enabling the predictive modeling of biological systems and processes for basic and applied research. These tools will help improving health-care, environment monitoring and protection, quality of food as well as developing better therapies and treatments by the pharmaceutical industries.
4. To disseminate and communicate the results of this research for the benefit of the scientific community globally, including publications, open conferences and workshops, and provide freely available, the tools developed in the course of the research for (non-commercial) science.
Activities:
Calculi for Biology, and 'Biomimetic' computation
We attack an open and challenging problem: the definition of a set of basic and general primitives for modeling biological systems directly inspired by biological processes. Hence, the main objective of this theme is to define a calculus for biology and develop a prototype to be applied in the theme of case studies. We also plan to include quantitative information in the definition of the calculus.
It is our belief that biological phenomena can serve as valuable source of inspiration for new primitives of process calculi and new computational paradigms. Process calculi, by their own nature, take input and output, and hence communication, as the very basic form of action/reaction between concurrent systems.
Concurrency theory-and particularly process algebras-are emerging as a highly promising tool to provide formal foundations to systems biology. This field is evolving rapidly
Case studies
The main goal of this theme is to validate and tune the work of the previous theme by exploiting the results in software developing tools and helping biologists to do science. Furthermore, the preliminary analysis of real problems will inform the design of suitable primitives. Also, we will build upon the effort of the theme on calculi for the definition of analysis, verification and simulation techniques to acquire new knowledge on the biological realm. A different case study could inform how the languages and techniques devised here could be transposed into the ICT field to improve software quality and to manage complexity.
Storing dynamical evolution of biological systems
The main goal of this theme is to set-up the mining and access to distributed databases storing information (programs) on the dynamic behaviour of biological systems. Coordination with servers providing the run-time support for non-homogeneous data should also be provided. The knowledge and technology acquired in the first two research themes will be used to populate databases.
Detailed information on recruitment can be found at the page
http://www.unitn.it/events/microsoft/index_eng.htm
following the link recruitment. The selection procedure will take place in the period 'end of May - mid June'.
More information on the centre will be available within few days on the web site.
Best regards,
Corrado Priami

Some quick comments on Leon Strous's document (made without consulting
the By-Laws or Standing Orders):
Item 1a looks reasonable, provided the TC has a big enough fund balance
at the end of year n-1.
If not, Item 1a does include the phrases "As a rule" and "For
exceptional reasons".
Two questions:
- Who can authorise breaking the 50% rule?
- What happens with a new TC (or a rescued TC) which has little or no
fund balance at the end of year n-1?
Item 2f does not look too unreasonable but who has the authority to
change the EUR15 000 threshold should a change ever becomes necessary?
A minor point on that one is that Leon has used the "continental Europe"
separator (".") at the thousands level, some of the rest of the world
(!) uses "," for that!
Note that in my comment, I've stayed neutral!
(Leon has also used a date form that could have been ambiguous had he
written his note a few days earlier - may I suggest using either ISO8601
dates or letters for the month?)
Regards (and have a good trip)

We apologize if you receive several copies of this e-mail
Call for Demos — Adhoc Now 2005
October 6–8, 2004 in Cancun, Mexico
http://fismat.umich.mx/adhoc-now/
Adhoc Now 2005, is the 4th in a series of annual international
conferences addressing the challenges in ad hoc, mobile and wireless
networking. The conference focusses on all aspects of networking from
the link layer up, ranging from theoretical to experimental research.
Adhoc Now has become a selective single-track conference. In 2004, Adhoc
Now received 172 submissions and had an acceptance ratio of 17%.
Call for Demonstrations
Adhoc Now 2005 will include a demo session that shall provide a forum to
those wishing to demonstrate and discuss with their peers research
testbeds and implementation results, as well as industry demonstrations
with high relevance to the event.
Demo proposals should describe the main contributions of the demo and
the merits of the proposed ideas, citing preliminary results if
available. Proposals should also include the equipment to be used, the
demo layout and space required to set up the demo, and possible
interactions (interoperability or interference) with other proposed
demonstrations. Proposals will be evaluated mainly based on their
potential to stimulate interesting discussions, exchange of ideas and
promote collaborations.
Please submit your proposal in PDF format to the demo session chair,
Antonio Garcia-Macias (jagm(a)cicese.mx). Proposals should not exceed
three pages in length and should indicate the authors’ names,
affilitation and contact information, as well as the designated
corresponding author. The dates for proposals submission and acceptance
notification are the same as for conference papers, and can be found at
the conference website (http://fismat.umich.mx/adhoc-now/).
Dear all,
hereby inform you with great pleasure that
André Danthine (Belgium) has been unanimously elected as
new honorary member of IFIP TC6.
Practically all delegates who ever contribute to the
life of TC6 by sending some messages have
wholehartedly said "yes" to the proposal.
Thus: my congratulations to you, André!
We expect that you remain busy for TC6 in your
new function and that you attend our meetings regularly as
you did in the past. The only thing which is not allowed for
you any more is a voting function - but you
can convince the delegates that they vote in your
direction ;-)
Best regards
Otto

Dear Friends,
Thank you very much.
Thank very much to Otto, who made a furore in the
Academy with his poem and address.
Please, drink a glass of wine for me and to have
many possibilities for drinking together.
Thank to all of you for the nice days which I have
spent with you all over the world.
Yours
Kiril
