Birthday!

von Otto Spaniol

Dear all, I would like to inform you that today (February 22, 2005) our Bulgarian delegate, Kiril Boyanov, has a quite "round" birthday. Unfortunately, I cannot join the birthday party since I have to go to this bloody IFIP council meeting in Korea. But I wish (also in the name of all delegates) Kiril all the best for the next seventy years. I have taken the opportunity to formulate two greeting addresses at this aoccasion: - an official one (see annex 1) - and a less conventional (see annex 2) one which was more difficult but where it is (hopefully) not so complicated what is particular with it. Best wishes and cheers, Kiril! Three Pliska on you! Otto

DSOM 2005 - Call For Papers

von Juergen Schoenwaelder

Call for Papers (DSOM 2005) 16th IFIP/IEEE Distributed Systems: Operations and Management >> Management of Ambient Networks << October 24-26, 2005, Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain <http://www.dsom2005.org/> The sixteenth IFIP/IEEE International Workshop on Distributed Systems: Operations and Management (DSOM 2005) will be held October 24-26, 2005 in Barcelona, Spain. The workshop is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems with technical co-sponsorship by the IEEE Communications Society, Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). The Workshop's location is the Campus Nord of Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Barcelona. UPC is in a residential area in the north of the city, at walking distance of hotels and commercial areas and well accessible by public transportation from downtown. This is the first time that DSOM will be co-located with four other events in order to strengthen the links between our respective communities. These co-located conferences are the 8th International Conference on Management of Multimedia Networks and Services (MMNS 2005), the 7th Symposium on Self-Stabilizing Systems (SSS 2005), the 5th Workshop on IP Operations and Management (IPOM 2005), and the International Workshop on Autonomic Grid Networking and Management (AGNM 2005). SCOPE OF THE DSOM WORKSHOP -------------------------- Ambient Networks are a new vision to provide accessibility and distributed services through the dynamic composition of networks. The wide adoption of packet switched networking technologies and the fast growing wireless networking infrastructures in public as well as in private spaces allow systems to choose how to obtain connectivity. Systems may also dynamically form new networks and the devices or the whole network may be mobile. Furthermore, many ambient networks will be in private spaces, owned and "operated" by non technical users (home networks). The heterogeneity of the services and resources participating in ambient networks and the dynamics associated with the composition of networks poses new management challenges. Ambient networks and services cannot be managed in the classic way. Instead, management of ambient networks must become an invisible and integrated part of a highly automated and adaptive control plane. Autonomic and self-management approaches therefore are of key importance. Important and challenging questions related to security, privacy, trust, and isolation in ambient networks need to be answered. In addition, questions related to the interface between managed and self-managed networks need to be addressed. Papers addressing these research questions are especially welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Self-management and self-configuration * Management of Home Networks * Autonomic Management of Networks and Services * Inter-domain Management * Context-driven Management * Adaptive Management Services and Applications * Control Theoretic Management Approaches * Distributed and Decentralized Management * Security, Privacy, Trust, and Isolation * Composable Management Systems * Performance and QoS Management * Fault Management and Fault Tolerance * Policy-based Management and Service Level Agreements * Monitoring, Event, and Fault Handling * Configuration, Accounting, Billing * Management Architectures and Information Models * Standardized Frameworks, Models, and Programming Interfaces * Implementation, Instrumentation, and Experience PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------- Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences. Late-breaking advances and work-in-progress reports from ongoing research are also encouraged to be submitted to DSOM 2005. Papers under review elsewhere MUST NOT be submitted to DSOM 2005. Authors are requested to submit either long papers or short papers (work-in-progress reports): * Long papers (up to 12 single-spaced single-column pages) * Short papers describing work-in-progress (up to 4 pages) Submissions exceeding the above mentioned paper size will not be reviewed and returned to the authors. Papers must be submitted online in PDF format via the "Paper Submission" link that can be found on the the DSOM 2005 web page. PROCEEDINGS ----------- The DSOM 2005 proceedings will be published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. For that reason we recommend that the PDF file of each paper be generated using LaTeX and the LNCS style available from Springer-Verlag. For more information regarding manuscript format please visit the author's instruction links at LNCS: <http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html> IMPORTANT DEADLINES ------------------- Submission: May 8th 2005 Notification: July 18th 2005 Camera ready: August 8th 2005 PROGRAM COMMITTEE CHAIRS ------------------------ Juergen Schoenwaelder, International University Bremen, Germany Joan Serrat, Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, Spain TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE --------------------------- - Ehab Al-Shaer, DePaul University, Chicago, USA - Raouf Boutaba, University of Waterloo, Canada - Nevil Brownlee, The University of Auckland, CAIDA, New Zealand - Marcus Brunner, NEC Europe, Germany - Mark Burgess, University College Oslo, Norway - Omar Cherkaoui, Universite du Quebec a Montreal, Canada - Alexander Clemm, Cisco, California, USA - Luca Deri, ntop.org, Italy - Metin Feridun, IBM Research, Switzerland - Olivier Festor, LORIA-INRIA, France - Alex Galis, University College London, UK - Lisandro Z.

Once more: TC6 calendar

von Otto Spaniol

Dear all, please find a once more an updated (and simplified) version of the TC6 calendar - which contains some new events such as Networking 2006 in Coimbra (+ a TC6 meeting which is proposed to be held there!). By the way: You may remember the bonmot which was cited by me at the occasion of our Bangkok meeting. Unfortunately, I'm not the author of that bonmot but I have stolen it with great pleasure. It reads: "A committee is a group which takes minutes and wastes hours". Whereas this statement may be true also for TC6 it is probably not fully true for our previous meeting.... since this meeting risks to remain without minutes. Another argument for attending the meetings in person ;-) ! Best regards Otto

Event Request forms

von Otto Spaniol

To: WG chairs (predominantly). Dear WG chairpersons, I received a message that a lot of Event Request Forms are missing. Please ensure that these forms come in due time. Remark: MMNS'04 was indeed "forgotten" by me, DAIS 2005 and FMOODS 2005 arrived just today. But the others are indeed unknown to me. WG chairs should fax the documents (even without my signature) to the IFIP secretariat in order not to loose time. My signature can then come some weeks later. Best regards Otto >Dear Prof. Spaniol, > > > >due to queries and payment request forms that are being presented to me, >I have become aware of the fact that there are numerous TC6 events which >are unknown to IFIP and do not exist in the IFIP database.
