3rd Latin American Network Operations and Management Symposium

Call for Papers
---------------
The Third Latin American Network Operations and Management Symposium -
LANOMS, to be held in Iguassu Falls (Foz do Iguaçu), Brazil, is the
result of the great success of both LANOMS'1999 which was held in Rio
de Janeiro and LANOMS'2001 which was held in Belo Horizonte, as well
as the other events in the area of network management known as NOMS
and APNOMS. NOMS (Network Operations and Management Symposium) was
originally created 13 years ago, and nowadays constitutes a worldwide
event for the researches in the area of network management. The
Asia/Pacific community promoted the APNOMS (Asia-Pacific Network
Operations and Management Symposium), which is an event more oriented
to the research and development community in that region. Continuing
the success of the second LANOMS, we will promote the third edition of
LANOMS (http://www.inf.ufpr.br/lanoms) on September 4-6 2003,
in Iguassu Falls, Paraná, Brazil.
The symposium is a promotion of the Federal University of Paraná
(UFPR), Brazil, technically co-sponsored by IEEE Communications
Society, and supported by IEEE Technical Committee on Network
Operations and Management (CNOM).
The main goal of the LANOMS is to create a forum more specific to the
necessities of Latin America in the area of network management
involving networking and telecommunication companies, academic
institutions and equipment vendors. LANOMS is an event open to
participants from all over the world who are interest in having, or
already have, research or commercial liaisons in Latin America - one
of the fastest growing regions in the world in networking. This year,
we intend to increase the submissions from North America, Europe,
Africa and Asia.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

CALL FOR WORK-IN-PROGRESS PAPERS
FORTE 2003
Application of Formal Description Techniques
in Internet and Communication Domains
IFIP TC 6 / WG 6.1
The 23rd IFIP International Conference
on
Formal Techniques for Networked and Distributed Systems
September 29th - October 2nd, 2003
Berlin, Germany
http://www.forte2003.de.vu
========================================================================
Scope and Objectives
FORTE denotes a series of international working conferences on formal
description techniques (FDTs) applied to computer networks and
distributed systems. The conference series started in 1981 under the
name PSTV. In 1988 a second series under the name FORTE was set up. Both
series were united to FORTE/PSTV in 1996. Two years ago the conference
changed the name to its current form. FORTE provides a forum for
researchers and users to review, discuss, and learn about new
approaches, concepts,and experiences in the field of formal description
techniques and their application.
The 23rd FORTE conference will be held in Berlin. It is organized by the
Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus (BTU Cottbus) and the
Berlin University of Technology (TU Berlin). FORTE 2003 is especially
dedicated to the application of formal description techniques to
practice, especially in the Internet domain. The conference will consist
of tutorial sessions on the first day, followed by presentations of
reviewed and invited papers, tool demonstrations, and panel and working
sessions.
Topics of interest
FORTE'03 will provide a forum for researchers and users to review,
discuss, and learn about new approaches, concepts and experiences in the
application of formal methods such as finite state machines, process
algebras, Petri nets and logics and formal description techniques
including SDL, UML, LOTOS, MSC, ASN.1, and others. Topics of interest
include, but are not restricted to
- Use of formal methods: FDT based design of communication protocols and
distributed systems especially for Internet applications, Formal
verification, Performance modeling and analysis, Automatically
derived implementations, Test of distributed systems and
communication protocols including interoperability tests,
performance tests, robustness tests, and test generation procedures,
Tool support
- Theoretical aspects of formal methods: New approaches and theories,
Extensions of FDTs, Semantic foundations, Real-time and probability
aspects
- Practical experience with formal methods: Reports and case studies of
the deployment of formal methods and FDTs to the development and
validation of distributed systems and communication protocols, in
particular in Internet and communication domains.
We strongly encourage the submission of papers with practical
applications especially in the areas of multimedia applications,
wireless and mobile communication protocols, client/server applications,
secure systems/environments, e-business and mobile commerce,
and other Internet applications.
Submission policy
Several types of contributions are solicited:
- Full papers - research or practice results (not more than 16 pages)
- Tutorial proposals
- Work in progress papers (not more than 5 pages)
- Tool demonstration proposals
Only original papers, i.e. not submitted nor published elsewhere, should
be submitted. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format
using the following address:
http://www.forte2003.de.vu/paper
Work in progress papers will be published in a separate volume at the
conference. They should be not longer than 12 pages (one spaced lines).
Every paper should have an abstract and a keyword list. The authors
should also give their affiliation and email addressses as usually.

Subject: SIGCOMM Meeting Announcement for SIGCOMM2003
Augusto, would you be willing to distribute this short
announcement of SIGCOMM?
Tomorrow I off to the US and Anchorage for the IEEE ICC
meeting. Looking forward to seeing you in Budapest,
Best regards, to Manuela, too,
Harry
-------------------------------------------
SIGCOMM 2003 will be held in Karlsruhe Germany, 25-29 Aug. 2003.
This year, SIGCOMM broadens it traditional scope into a data
communications festival. The SIGCOMM conference contains full papers
on a variety of topics, including peer-to-peer, overlays, and denial of
service, as well as position paper and poster sessions. A set
of one-day workshops are part of the festival: networking research
methods, scope, education, network-I/O convergence, future directions
in architecture, and revisiting QoS. Tutorials will be held on
network security and self-similar traffic. Full program details
are available at www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2003.
Dear WG chairs,
Herbert Leitold indicated that there are some TC6 conferences that have got
no description yet in our web page. This was an action point from our last
meeting (AP59/8). Would it be possible to complete them before our next
meeting?
Best regards
Augusto
Augusto
We probably ought to put the Kouvatsos issue on the agenda.
I've no other "unusual" issues.
Regards
Peter
