[Our apologies for possible duplicates of this message] Due to a number of requests for extensions, the submission deadline for IM'2005 has been extended by 2 weeks. The new and final submission deadline is SEPTEMBER 7TH, 2004, 12PM GMT CALL FOR PAPERS WITH DEADLINE EXTENSION ********************************************************************** - DEADLINE EXTENSION - DEADLINE EXTENSION - DEADLINE EXTENSION - ********************************************************************** 9th IFIP/IEEE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON INTEGRATED NETWORK MANAGEMENT (IM'05) 15-19 May, 2005 Nice, France http://www.im2005.org/ ********************************************************************** IMPORTANT DATES SUBMISSION : SEPTEMBER 7, 2004, 12PM GMT Notification : November 26, 2004 Camera Ready : January 15, 2005 ********************************************************************** "Managing New Networked Worlds" The Ninth IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM 2005) will be held 16-19 May 2005 in Nice, France. IM 2005 will present the latest technical advances in the area of management, operations and control of networks, networking services, networked applications, and distributed systems. Held in odd-numbered years since 1989 and taking turns with its sibling conference NOMS, IM 2005 will build on the successes of its predecessors and serve as the primary forum for technical exchange among the research, standards, vendor and user communities in the network management field. The symposium is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, and by the IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). We are witnessing the dawn of a new era in networking. New networked worlds emerge in which connectivity becomes increasingly ubiquitous and the infrastructure blends in seamlessly with business functions, applications, and the supported environment. These new worlds are no longer only characterized by the increasing heterogeneity and number of devices, but also by properties such as convergence, context awareness, accelerated service lifecycles, virtualization of resources, massive P2P infrastructures, unprecedented security challenges, and much more. Further, new types of networks are emerging such as sensor networks, agent networks, storage-area networks, and grid-based networks. All of this incurs new challenges and opportunities for network management and the ways in which it is approached, requiring management technology to evolve as rapidly as the new networked worlds. IM 2005 will be organized into technical sessions, panels, and tutorials. In addition, it will feature application sessions focusing on practical lessons learned by the user and vendor communities, posters, birds-of-a-feather sessions, and vendor exhibits. In the tradition of previous events, we strive to make the IM 2005 Symposium the highest quality professional event of the year. Paper submissions will undergo a stringent review process implemented by the Technical Program Committee which includes many of the most respected experts in the field. --------------------------------------------------------------------- TECHNICAL PROGRAM --------------------------------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal, as well as proposals for tutorials, panel discussions, poster demonstrations, or birds-of-a-feather sessions.

We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ********************************************************************* * EWSN 2005 * * * * 2nd European Workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks (EWSN) * * * * Istanbul, Turkey * * January 31 - February 2, 2005 * * * * http://www.ewsn.org * * * * Call For Papers * ********************************************************************* Scope of EWSN 2005: =================== Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are fast emerging as a new sensing paradigm based on the collaborative effort of large number of sensors deployed close to or inside the phenomenon to be observed, and have the potential of providing diverse services to numerous applications. The realization of WSNs require intensive technical research efforts especially on energy efficient scalable wireless ad hoc communication protocols due to their unusual application requirements and unique constraints. Additionally, WSNs are further evolving from simple data transportation networks to functionally rich distributed systems such that the tasks of event sensing and acting upon the phenomenon can be collectively realized in an autonomous manner by sensor and actuator nodes. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from different backgrounds ranging from hardware to applications, to create a forum where cross-layer integration, novel solutions for specific problems, and the future development of WSN functionalities can be discussed. We encourage contributions describing innovative work on WSN. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Hardware for WSN: transceiver concepts, wakeup radio, antenna design, system integration, process and cost of manufacturing, battery technology, energy scavenging * Communication protocols: MAC and link layer problems, routing and transport protocols tailored for WSN, redundancy, data aggregation, and mobility support; gateways to fixed Internet; providing functionalities like localization and synchronization * Source coding techniques appropriate for WSN to support data fusion * Middleware for WSN: Configuration and installation support, lookup of available functionalities, group communication, distributed algorithms in WSN, harmonizing node-centric and data-centric addressing, integrating WSN in middleware architectures like .NET * Security: primitives for appropriate cryptographic protocols, secure system engineering * Applications of WSN: novel applications and their requirements such as medicine, environment control, etc.; experiences with real-world applications * What part will WSNs play in realizing the visions of ubiquitous computing & communication and Ambient Intelligence. * Prototypes, field studies, and testbeds: novel sensor node prototypes, measurements within sensor network testbeds * Modeling of WSN: models for WSN load/applications, mobility or channel models For further information, please contact the co-chairs via: info(a)ewsn2005.org Important Dates: ================ Submission deadline: September 3, 2004 Notification of acceptance: December 6, 2004 Camera-ready version: December 24, 2004 EWSN 2005 Conference: January 31 - February 2, 2005 Submission Details: =================== The workshop will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review by another conference or journal.

Sensor and actor networks

von Otto Spaniol

Dear all, Ramon informed me that WG 6.3 is discussing a co-sponsorship of IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems, June 30 - July 1, 2005 in Marina del Rey, California, USA. The question is what TC6 can or should do in that respect. Sensor and Actor Networks are hot topics as well as ubiquitous networks or pervasive computing etc. Until now we have our MedHoc series (Mediterranean Adhoc Network series) but this may not be enough for the mass of newly emerging topics. For the international seminar institute in Dagstuhl we got not less than four (!) applications for respective seminars for the first half of 2005 with the following titles: - cognitive networks and radios - form and content in sensor networks - ad-hoc geosensor networks in traffic assessment - data always and everywhere - Management of Mobile, Ubiquitous, Pervasive, and sensor data. Several other proposals have been more or less related to these topics. What is your feeling? - Can we avoid to deal with these fields? (I don't think so). - Should we establish a larger specialized event? (One ore two particular sessions at the occasion of Networking 200x will probably not be enough). - Which working group should be responsible? Or: Should we organise the first event by TC6 and should we try to establish a WG 6.xx thereafter? Or: Would it be enough to distribute the new topics among existing WG's since obviously WG 6.1, 6.6, 6.8 and maybe others are involved? ** Please comment **. Of course, this topic will be on the agenda of meeting 2004/2. Best regards Otto

DCSC requests (2005) for TC6

von Otto Spaniol

Dear Dipak, I received until today (August 13, 2004) the following expressions of interest for DCSC funding in 2005: From: For: Remark: Kiril Boyanov MWCN'05; 750 EURO for Fall 2005; Vedrin Jeliaskov Marrakesh, Morocco Koos Koen Comm. Syst. Conf. Not yet specified in Abuja, Nigeria Guy Leduc Middleware 2005; 750 EURO for a November 05; participant from a Grenoble, France developing country Ramon Puigjaner IFIP/ACM Latin America Some delegates feel Networking Conference; that we should not Fall 05; Cali, Colombia sponsor events in Colombia due to the level of criminality (especially in Cali) Guy Pujolle Networking for MAN; March 05; Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Remarks: - Colombia, Morocco, Nigeria, and Vietmnam are no members of IFIP (and are therefore not elegible for the moment being since DCSC funding is only for IFIP member countries; this might be changed, however, if the motion of Max Bramer for removing that restriction is accepted in Toulouse; on the other hand: if the condition is not any more valid: what might be the reason of a country for joining IFIP?). - The requests are necessarily inconcrete: It is impossible to ask for support of a speaker who has an accepted paper since sometimes we don't even have a Call for Paper. I feel that we will have to change the rules for DCSC funding. You might allocate a reasonable sum for each TC (maybe Proportional to the global TC fund) and that sum could be Discussed and distributed at the occasion of the TC meetings (in the case of TC6: at meetings 2004/2 and 2005/1). - A priority ranking cannot be made since: - I would have to ask the other delegates - the requests are not concrete enough (see above) I have ordered the requests alphabetically by the last name of the delegate who presented it. The request for Velin Jeliaskov is attached. Best wishes Otto Spaniol cc.: TC6 delegates p.s.: I will be out of the office for vacation during the next two weeks (and for that reason I can't attend GA in Toulouse; TC6 will be represented by Ramon)

Final minutes and agenda 11

von Otto Spaniol

Dear all, Guy Leduc wrote: --------------- Dear all, Given this agreement (enforcing the Springer DL), does it still make sense to address the following point raised at the last TC6 meeting : 11. Relations with IEEE and other organisations There were discussions of digital libraries in relation to the IEEE and the European Commission. Augusto Casaca and André Danthine suggested that there may be funding available from IFIP and/or UNESCO. Augusto Casaca also commented that a digital library would be much cheaper if it were not retrospective. A task force was proposed to look into this. Volunteers included André Danthine, Dominique Gaiti, Günter Haring, Arun Iyengar, Guy Leduc, Dipak Khakhar, and Guy Pujolle Action Point (AP62/07): The digital library task force: to decide who should act as chairman of the task force and to start work. Best regards, Guy PS: Do we have the final version of the minutes, taking corrections into account ? ---------------- Indeed, our possibilities appear to be more limited (which is not so bad per se) since we should prefer or use exclusiveley the Springer DL offers. Thus agenda point 11 appears to be less relevant when considering digital libraries. By the way: It has shown once again that it is almost impossible to start an initiative if no initiator is immediately fixed (the distributed election problem). Would you, Guy (Leduc) protest very much if we nominate you as the chairman of this task force group? There are more points to be discussed which are related to our cooperation with IEEE/ACM and other organisations. This concerns sponsorship questions, publication questions etc. We will do that at meeting 2004/2 in Bangkok - or before in the task group. Best regards Otto p.s.: A attach a modified version of the minutes where I tried to incorporate the corrections.
